03- Brakes#2013269
2 units affected
On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the brake hose may become damaged when raising and lowering the kingpin assembly. This could cause the air line to wear, potentially resulting in an air leak. Air leakage could result in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance. These issues could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, relocate the rear crossmember.
- Brakes#2012295
1 units affected
On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the brake hose on the third axle (rear-most axle) may become damaged during suspension travel, which could result in a loss of air pressure to the air brakes. Rapid air loss would allow spring brake application, causing immediate brake lock-up. If this occurs while the vehicle is in motion, it could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a repair kit which will relocate the third axle air brake hose.
- Brakes#2012208
1 units affected
On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, during full suspension travel the S-camshaft could contact the frame, which could damage the brake system and result in a reduction or loss of braking capacity. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Vermeer authorized facilities will repair the braking system and relocate brake components to avoid damage.

04- SUSPENSION#14V410000
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 R9X12T trailers manufactured November 28, 2012, to March 21, 2014; R400T trailers manufactured August 27, 2013, to June 16, 2014; and R600HC trailers manufactured October 28, 2013, to April 25, 2014. In the affected drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the suspension pivot bolts could loosen causing axle separation.
Risk: If the axle separates from the reclaimer, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will add welds to secure the suspension pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2014. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK00-3061.

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 R9x12T drilling fluid reclaimer trailers manufactured January 31, 2010, through July 2, 2013. The air brake hose may become pinched or chafed on the axle support plate.
Risk: As a result, the air brake line could become damaged, causing a loss of air pressure to the air brake system and a loss of service brakes or preventing the parking brake from releasing, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air brake hose clearance. If there is insufficient clearance, the rear cross member will be moved, free of charge.

Vermeer is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 R9X12T drilling fluid reclaimer trailers manufactured from March 01, 2010, through August 03, 2012. Due to interference between the air brake hoses and the frame cross-member at the rear axle, the air brake hose may become pinched or be damaged, resulting in the loss of air pressure to the air brakes.
Risk: A loss of air pressure to the air brakes can result in a loss of service brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will re-reroute the air brake hose, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2012. Owners may contact Vermeer at 641-628-3141.

AS SUCH, THE AXLE COULD CONTACT THE ARM, BENDING IT. OVERTIME, ONE OR MORE OF THE BRAKES COULD LOSE ITS BRAKING CAPACITY DUE TO THE BENT SLACK ADJUSTER ARM.
Risk: REDUCED BRAKING CAPACITY CAN LEAD TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND/OR CRASH.
Remedy: VERMEER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND WILL REPLACE THE AXLE, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 6, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VERMEER AT 1-641-628-3141.
