WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

Issued by Vermeer Manufacturing Company · Reported Feb 13, 2020 · 8,040 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2016-2020 BC1000XL, BC1200XL, BC1500, and AX19 brush chipper trailers. Incorrect lug nuts may have been installed, possibly resulting in the lug nuts loosening.

Consequence

If the lug nuts loosen while the vehicle is in motion, the wheel may detach and become a road hazard, or there may be a loss of control of the trailer. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vermeer will notify owners and dealers will provide replacement 17.5” wheel/tire assembly, new wheel maintenance safety sign, tire specification placard, and supplemental operator’s and maintenance manual with wheel maintenance instructions, free of charge. Owner renotification letters were mailed February 24, 2022. The recall began July 6, 2020. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051, extension 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK3922.
