3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.

16V486000BrakesJune 27, 2016 · 254 units

Defect

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 DT6, HG4000, HC6000, HG8000, TG5000, TG7000 and WC2300XL, 2014-2015 TG9000 and 2015-2016 WC2500XL trailers, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.

Consequence

If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

Vermeer will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. Vermeer issued an interim notification to owners on August 19, 2016. The recall began on October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Vermeer Customer Service Department at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK3350.

16V427000BrakesJune 13, 2016 · 11 units

Defect

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 TG5000 vehicles manufactured November 23, 2013, to May 23, 2016. The assembly instruction manual for these vehicles called for the wrong slack adjuster pushrod length to be used, and as a result, the pushrod threads may fail, causing the trailer parking brakes to unintentionally engage.

Consequence

If the trailer brakes unintentionally engage it would increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will reset the air brake pushrod length to the correct dimension, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK3334.

16V425000Trailer HitchJune 10, 2016 · 11 units

Defect

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2014-2016 TG5000 Tub Grinder trailers manufactured November 23, 2013, to May 23, 2016. The spherical washers used during the assembly of the kingpin may have been installed incorrectly, possibly causing the attaching bolts to fail and therefore the kingpin to detach.

Consequence

If the kingpin does not remain properly connected to the trailer, the trailer may detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the installation of the spherical washers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-641-628-3141.
