2017 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.

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.
Recall 17V-259: Suspension
Problem: Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton) is recalling certain 2017-2018 DAVW and DVW 285S dry van single-axle trailers. The outside welds that attach the front suspension hangers to the subframe may crack, allowing the front hanger to detach.
Risk: If the hangers detach, the axle assemblies will break loose from the trailer causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Stoughton will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front hanger for cracks, repairing them as necessary. Dealers will also install gussets inside the subframe, free of charge. The recall began on July 17, 2017. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2500.
