What's wrong?
The 2014 Innovative Trailer Design V40TAN49 uses a SAF-Holland CBX40 suspension to keep the trailer axle aligned under load. A pivot bolt in that suspension acts as a heavy fastener at the suspension pivot point, holding the axle and suspension assembly in the correct position as the trailer follows the tractor.
The recalled bolt is SAF-Holland pivot bolt part number 93201070. It can have a quench crack where the bolt head meets the body of the bolt. A quench crack forms during heat treatment, when the metal is cooled after heating. The reported cause is an improper or ineffective heat-treat process, which leaves the bolt vulnerable at a high-stress point.
If a pivot bolt fails on one side of the axle or suspension assembly, the trailer can become misaligned behind the tractor. That change should be immediately apparent to the driver.

What's the safety risk?
A cracked pivot bolt can fracture and weaken the axle and suspension connection. If the pivot connection fractures on both sides, the axle assembly can separate from the trailer and increase crash risk. Trailer misalignment behind the tractor is the warning sign to pull over when safe and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Innovative Trailer Design dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Innovative Trailer Design V40TAN49 trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Innovative Trailer Design dealer to schedule the free pivot-bolt replacement that fixes the cracked pivot-bolt risk at the suspension pivot connection.
- Bring the recall notice if Innovative Trailer Design mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V724 and Innovative Trailer Design recall ITD-2014-W01 when you call.
- Call Innovative Trailer Design customer service at 1-905-670-7755 with questions about the repair or dealer scheduling.
- Limit trailer use until the pivot-bolt replacement is complete, since a fractured pivot connection can let the axle assembly separate from the trailer.
