The defect

The risk
A trailer that detaches from the tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Stoughton will notify owners, and dealers will repair the cracks and reinforce the mounting, free of charge. The recall began March 25, 2019. Owners may contact Stoughton customer service at 1-608-873-2580.
