Suspension — Vermeer · reported 8 Jul 2014 · 58 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
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.
The risk
If the axle separates from the reclaimer, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
