As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 16V050000.
Defect description
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.
Safety 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.
Manufacturer 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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
