Transport Canada recalls

Suspension#2014286July 8, 2014
2 units affected
On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, welds normally applied to the suspension pivot bolts as a secondary means of securement may have been omitted at time of assembly. This could allow the bolts to loosen, which could result in partial axle separation, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be sent a field modification kit and instructions.
Brakes#2013269August 5, 2013
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#2013214June 20, 2013
1 units affected
Certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 – Air Brake Systems. The brake booster valve may have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. As such, the brake actuation timing slightly exceeds the allowable limit, which could result in less efficient braking performance. In the event of an emergency stop, the vehicle's stopping distance would be increased, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will correct the air brake booster valve installation.

SUSPENSION#14V410000July 8, 2014
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.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR#13V343000August 5, 2013
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. The recall began on September 25, 2013. Owners may contact Vermeer at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's recall number is IK00-1851.
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR#13V258000June 21, 2013
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 R9X12T trailers manufactured May 25, 2012, through May 3, 2013. The air-brake booster valve was installed incorrectly, allowing the brake application time to exceed the permissable amount. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: The extra brake application time may result in extended stopping distances, increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will re-plumb the air brake booster valve, free of charge. The recall began on July 29, 2013. Owners may contact Vermeer at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's recall number is IK00-1843.
