50 units affected
Issue: On certain brush chipper trailers, the hydraulic tongue jack could extend on its own while the trailer is being towed. Safety Risk: A hydraulic jack that extends while driving could create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Vermeer will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your brush chipper trailer to an authorized service facility to repair the hydraulic tongue jack by replacing the wiring harness.
- Lights And Instruments#2015507
1,307 units affected
Certain brush chipper and stump cutter units may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retro reflective Devices. During manufacturing, the side marker LED lights installed did not include a reflex reflector built into the lens and no other reflex reflectors were installed on the sides of the trailers, which fails to meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install separate reflectors with SAE (A) marking or LED side marker lights with reflex reflectors with an SAE (A) rated lens.
- Structure#2012258
316 units affected
On certain units, the axle to frame mounting bolts were improperly tightened during assembly and could loosen. This could cause the axle to shift or become separated from the trailer chassis, resulting in poor vehicle handling characteristics or a loss of control increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace axle mounting hardware and tighten to specification.
