2007 Stoughton VAN Trailer recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trailers, during manufacture, some of the pipe fittings were drilled too deep, resulting in a thin wall in the male pipe thread. The male pipe thread may break off during or after assembly.
💥 The risk
If the fitting fails while in use, the air brake system could depressurize, causing the brakes to engage suddenly, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Stoughton is working with brasscraft to replace the defective fitting free of charge (please see 06E082). The recall began on february 20, 2007. Owners may contact brasscraft at 248-305-6000 or stoughton Trailer at 1-608-873-2565.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
