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 (cracking attachment points) that leads to trailer detachment, which the source text states increases the risk of a crash.
Plain-English summary
Stoughton Trailers, LLC is recalling certain 2016-2019 DVW trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the forward attachment points for the pintle mounting assembly may crack. This cracking can lead to the detachment of the pintle assembly from the trailer, which in turn causes the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle while in tow.
A trailer that detaches from the tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash. Stoughton will notify owners, and dealers will repair the cracks and reinforce the mounting free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2019.
