Vermeer Manufacturing Company is recalling approximately 38 of its 2016-2024 BC1800XL brush chipper trailers. The recall was initiated because the tongue weldment on the trailer can develop cracks, which may lead to the trailer tongue completely separating from the tow hitch while in use. Vermeer will provide a free remedy kit that integrates a new surge brake tongue into the existing weldment to resolve the issue.
If the trailer tongue cracks and separates from the tow hitch, the trailer could detach from the towing vehicle. This causes a sudden loss of control and significantly increases the risk of a crash on the roadway.
