2016 Stoughton DVW recalls
Recall 20V-596: Structure, Suspension
Problem: Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton) is recalling certain 2016-2019 DVW trailers with a specific rear pintle hook mounting assembly and rear suspension hangers welded to a channel suspension sub-frame. The sub-frame may crack around the area where the hangers are welded.
Risk: The rear suspension hangers can break away from the sub-frame and become detached from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Stoughton will notify owners and will repair the existing fatigue cracks and add reinforcements in the area of the rear hanger, free of charge. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-352-593-5900.
Recall 19V-055: Trailer Hitches
Problem: Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton) is recalling certain 2016-2019 DVW trailers. The forward attachment points for the pintle mounting assembly may crack, leading to the detachment of the pintle assembly from the trailer and therefore detaching the trailer in tow.
Risk: A trailer that detaches from the tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
Fix: Stoughton will notify owners, and dealers will repair the cracks and reinforce the mounting, free of charge. The recall began March 25, 2019. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2580.

Problem: 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.
Risk: If the parking brake chamber fails while the trailer is parked, the trailer may roll away, increasing the risk of crash or injury.
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.
