Summary: Vermeer is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 BC1200XL single axle brush chipper trailers manufactured from July 24, 2009, through February 14, 2011. During the assembly process the incorrect lug nuts were installed on wheels for the 285/75/R16 flotation tire option. These incorrect lug nuts may loosen, since the lug nuts do not match the countersink holes in the wheel disc.
Consequence: Loose lug nuts can damage the wheel disc and result in wheel separation from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the lug nuts free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about June 1, 2011. Owners may contact vermeer at 1-641-628-3141.
Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Vermeer been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Vermeer dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
