02- Structure#2023174
90 units affected
Issue: On certain brush chipper trailers, the bolts that attach the safety chains aren't long enough. As a result, if the trailer becomes uncoupled from the tow vehicle, the safety chains could separate from the trailer. This could allow the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle. Safety Risk: A trailer that separates from the tow vehicle could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Vermeer will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and replace the bolts that attach the safety chains to the tongue/towbar.
- 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.
