- 10167929Procedure to improve the durability of the model years 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Stoughton Ag Hopper Trailers center divider, which separates the two hoppers. This has been sent out a total of 10 times as a repair.
- 10167928Stoughton Trailers LLC recommends inspecting and adding additional fasteners to the top rails of all MY2009 and most MY2010 Ag Hopper Trailers the next time they come in for repair or service. The fasteners on the top horizontal surfaces of the top rails on these Model years are spaced 12 inches apart. This upgrade calls for adding more rivets to the top rail, resulting in rivets on 4 inch centers as opposed to 12 inch. This will improve the durability of the top rail in demanding environments.
- 10167927STOUGHTON TRAILER?s recommended maintenance procedure and interval for torqueing bolts connecting suspension to aluminum subframe. The proper suspension to aluminum subframe bolt torque on model years 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Stoughton Ag Hopper Trailers will prevent the bolts from loosening and possibly causing cracking in the subframe rails.
- 10167926Recommended repair procedure for damage on Ag Hopper trailers in the bottom rail and lower structure between the upper coupler and the front hopper. The appropriate upgrade on Model Years 2009 and 2010 STOUGHTON Ag Hopper trailers will improve lateral stability in the area resulting in increased durability of the unit. This was sent to one repair shop this month.
- 10167924This is the entire 13V-025 recall and campaign instructions sent to all of our Dealers and repair shops that were authorized to do the recall and update proceedurees. It includes: a table of contents that lists 1) a cover letter to the dealers explaining the nature of the recall and the upgrade campaigns that went above and beyond the recall. 2)It contains sample copies of the Dealer Notification and Owner Notification letters and the Canadian equivalents (2013-035 and 2013-036). 3)A complete list of units covered and the recalland upgrades they would need. It also includes the Recall Repair Documents RD-00031 rev C and RD-00040. TheRD-00031 repair addresses the lateral stability of the bottom rail in the immediate area forward of the landing gear and front hopper. Lateral movement in this area allows the bottom rail and steel internal structure to flex side to side between the two crossmembers forward of the hopper. Excessive flexing can cause fatigue cracks and fastener failure. RD-00040 addresses the fore and aft stability of the suspension subframe that has caused cracking in early versions of the front attachments that connect the front of the subframe channels to the aft hopper crossmember. The repair is to remove the first and second versions of the front attachment and replace with the third version with additional reinforcements. The additional campaign proceedures were the RD-00037 rev A, RD-00032, RD-00035 rev B and RD-00041. The nature of the first three are covered in the 14-Nov summary. The RD-00041 upgrade addresses the lateral stability of the aluminum subframe aft of the suspension hangers. Lateral movement in this area allows the subframe channel to flex side to side between the hanger and the suspension air bag. Excessive flexing can cause fatigue cracks in the aluminum channel. This covers the 2009 through 2013 model years.
