Stoughton recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton) is recalling certain 2014 AVW trailers manufactured October 22, 2013, through December 18, 2013, AVXW trailers manufactured December 3, 2013, through December 16, 2013, ZGPVW trailers manufactured October 17, 2013, through December 17, 2013, and AHV trailers manufactured November 5, 2013, through November 21, 2013, and equipped with certain SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems. The affected trailer suspensions have pivot bolts that may fail.
What could happen
Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Stoughton will notify owners, and SAF-Holland-approved repair shops will replace the defective pivot bolts with new pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2014. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2555, or SAF-Holland customer service at 1-888-396-6501.
