What NHTSA recorded

Stoughton Trailers, LLC (Stoughton) is recalling certain 2009-2010 Grain Hopper trailers manufactured December 17, 2007, to December 1, 2009. The affected trailers may have an incorrectly positioned panel in the hopper assembly or the lower part of the cargo area of the trailer.

Possible consequence

The incorrectly positioned panel may separate, allowing the cargo to spill onto the roadway. Additionally, the trailer could have a major structural failure. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Stoughton will notify owners and dealers will inspect the trailers and reinforce the hopper connections, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 14, 2016. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2555.
