Issued by Vermeer Manufacturing Company · Reported Feb 25, 2021 · 20 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2021 BC900XL brush chipper trailers. The mounting bolts that secure the axle assembly to the mainframe structure of the brush chipper may not have been tightened properly.

Consequence

Loose axle mounting bolts may result in the axle separating from the brush chipper, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting bolts and tighten them to the correct torque specification, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 20, 2021. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051 ext. 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK4005.
