What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. 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.

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.
