Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.
RD-00032
STOUGHTON 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.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
