NHTSA Campaign 15V355000

TRAILER HITCHES

Issued by Vermeer Manufacturing Company · Reported Jun 9, 2015 · 64 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2015 TLR30HD trailers manufactured April 21, 2015, to May 15, 2015, and 2015 TLR30LD trailers manufactured April 17, 2015, and May 14, 2015. The affected trailers may have an incorrectly installed safety chain.

Consequence

If the trailer hitch becomes unhooked from the tow vehicle, the safety chain will not prevent the trailer from completely separating from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vermeer will notify owners and dealers will install a field repair kit. The recall began on July 14, 2015. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051 or by email at [email protected]. Vermeer's number for this campaign is IK3175.
