The problem
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.
The risk
Loose lug nuts can damage the wheel disc and result in wheel separation from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
