Stoughton Trailers affected trailers have an Upper Coupler Section with a Gross Trailer Weight Rating (gtwr) of 25,000lbs, however the trailer has an assigned Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (gvwr) of over 25,000lbs.
The short version
Stoughton Trailers, LLC reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers have an Upper Coupler Section with a Gross Trailer Weight Rating (GTWR) of 25,000lbs, however the trailer has an assigned Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of over 25,000lbs.
If the trailer is loaded past 25,000lbs, the upper coupler may fail causing separation of the trailer from the tow vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Stoughton will notify owners and depending on the trailer GVWR, dealers will either replace the upper coupler slide-in inner tube or the trailers will need to be returned to the manufacturer to have the upper coupler replaced, free of charge.
