The defect
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.
The risk
Failure of the pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
