Summary: Stoughton is recalling 366 my 2007-2008 ddw-s ar dollies equipped with saf-holland simplex fifth wheels. The latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve. Corrosion or contaminates in the pivot may cause it to bind and prevent the fifth wheel jaw from latching securely around the trailer king pin.
Consequence: There is a possibility that the fifth wheel may fail to latch without the driver's knowledge. When this occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Stoughton is working with saf-holland. Saf-holland will send a repair kit to owners free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about March 1, 2008. Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-888-396-6501 ext. 4343 or stoughton at 608-873-2565.

Has your Stoughton been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Stoughton dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
