Stoughton Recalls 2014 Trailers Due to Suspension Pivot Bolt Failure Risk

Stoughton is recalling 324 model-year 2014 trailers because suspension pivot bolts may fail, potentially causing the axle to separate from the trailer.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (suspension/axle separation) that increases the risk of a crash, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Stoughton Trailers, LLC is recalling certain 2014 AHV, AVW, AVXW, and ZGPVW trailers. These vehicles are equipped with SAF-Holland-brand CBX Trailer Suspension Air Ride Axle Systems that contain pivot bolts which may fail.

The failure of these pivot bolts may cause the suspension and attached axle to separate from the trailer, which increases the risk of a crash. This recall affects 324 units and is an expansion of a previous recall (14V-268).

Stoughton will notify owners, and SAF-Holland-approved repair shops will replace the defective pivot bolts with new ones free of charge. The recall began on July 7, 2016. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2555 or SAF-Holland customer service at 1-888-396-6501.
