The 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.

The risk

A trailer that detaches from the tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.

What to do

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.
