EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Issued by Vermeer Manufacturing Company · Reported Sep 16, 2021 · 50 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2005-2021 McLaughlin and 2021 Vermeer vacuum excavators. Please see the 573 report for all affected models. The rear clearance lamps and reflex reflectors, and the rear-side clearance lamps and reflex reflectors are not sufficient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence

Without the proper reflective equipment, the vacuum excavators may not be visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install a field remedy kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 11, 2021. Owners may contact Vermeer's customer service at 1-800-829-0051 ext. 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is VMV0013.
