Vermeer Manufacturing Company is recalling approximately 1,173 of its BC900XL brush chipper trailers from model years 2015 through 2022. The recall was issued because the service and maintenance manuals provided with these trailers contain incorrect lug nut torque values. If owners or technicians follow these incorrect instructions, the wheel lug nuts may be tightened improperly, which can lead to wheels becoming loose or completely detaching during use. Vermeer is providing a remedy kit that includes a corrected manual free of charge.
Improperly tightened lug nuts can cause the trailer wheels to wobble, loosen, or fall off while the vehicle is in motion. This creates an immediate hazard that significantly increases the risk of a crash for the towing vehicle and other motorists.
Vermeer will provide a remedy kit including a corrected service manual.
