Summary
Certain touring trailers were built with trailing arm spindles (a part of the trailer frame designed and intended to be towed behind motorcycles) that may fatigue and fail over time. The spindle may fracture causing the road wheel to no longer track properly.
Consequence
Trailer (and motorcycle) directional stability would then be compromised and a crash could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new frame free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2007. Owners may contact champion at 800-875-0949.
Notes
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Champion Sidecar been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Champion Sidecar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
