Vermeer recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 R9x12T drilling fluid reclaimer trailers manufactured January 31, 2010, through July 2, 2013. The air brake hose may become pinched or chafed on the axle support plate.
What could happen
As a result, the air brake line could become damaged, causing a loss of air pressure to the air brake system and a loss of service brakes or preventing the parking brake from releasing, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air brake hose clearance. If there is insufficient clearance, the rear cross member will be moved, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2013. Owners may contact Vermeer at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's recall number is IK00-1851.
