Bought my 2012 26sab in Virden, Mb in summer of 2011. Immediately had problems with the bumper. Had it rewelded and the metal gave way almost immediately. The dealer rewelded again, put the spare tire under the belly of the front of the trailer at no cost to me. Added a receiver hitch, welded to the frame to handle the bike rack, at my cost. Heard about a recall to the 2011 model almost a year ago. Not sure why the recall on the 2012 was only issued now as the 2 model years are basically the same. Not sure if there is any benefit to having the recall work done as our fixes have rendered the weak bumper inconsequential. The dealer is 3 1/2 hrs west of us and as work will take 1 1/2 hours to complete we may stop and have it done on our way to Cyprus Hills this summer.
