Stoughton recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 trailers manufactured March 13, 2014, to April 28, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause the parking brake chamber to fail while the trailer is parked.
What could happen
If the parking brake chamber fails while the trailer is parked, the trailer may roll away, increasing the risk of crash or injury.
The fix
Stoughton will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. The recall began on July 26, 2016. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2500.
