The problem
Vermeer is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 bc2100xl tandem axle brush clipper trailers manufactured from december 19, 2007, through february 9, 2009 and equipped with a welded assembly attached to the front of the mainframe. The welded assembly is subject to high stress levels.
The risk
As a result, the welded assembly may bend and/or develop fatigue cracks increasing the risk of personal injury to the equipment operators or any bystanders.
The fix
Field kit modifications are currently being developed and dealers will replace the welded assembly with a new design free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before august 26, 2011. Owners may contact vermeer at 1-641-628-3141.
