Summary
Vac-Tron Equipment, LLC. (Vac-Tron) is recalling certain 2012-2020 MC555SDT, MC533SDT and MC573SDT Vacuum Excavator trailers. The trailer's front clearance lamps are positioned improperly, the jetter blocks visibility to the passenger side front clearance lamp, and an insufficient amount of conspicuity tape may have been applied on the sides and rear. The trailers may also may also lack side or rear reflex reflectors. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
Due to the improper position of lamps, insufficient reflective tape, and lack of reflectors, the trailer may not be visible at night, increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy
Vac-Tron will notify owners, and Vermeer dealers will install remedy kits provided by Vac-Tron, free of charge. The recall began June 5, 2020. Owners may contact Vac-Tron customer service at 1-888-822-8766.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your VAC-Tron 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.

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