16V378000

Date: 2016-05-24. Systems: STRUCTURE.

Defect: Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 BC900XL wood chippers manufactured June 8, 2012, to May 31, 2016. The chassis of the affected wood chippers may have improper welds which could result in separation of the wood chipper from the tow vehicle.

Consequence: If the brush chipper separates from the tow vehicle, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will remove the current fixed tongue and bolt on a new fixed tongue, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in July 2016. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051 extension 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK3304.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

15V575000

Date: 2015-09-16. Systems: EXTERIOR LIGHTING.

Defect: Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2008-2016 Vermeer BC1000XL, 2013-2016 BC700XL, 2012-2016 BC900XL, 2009-2016 BC1200XL, 2003-2016 BC1800XL, 2005-2014 BC600XL, 2005-2016 SC802 and 2005-2013 SC602 Brush Chippers and Stump Cutters. These models have LED side markers lights that do not have reflectors built into the lenses, reducing the visibility of the vehicle (excerpt)

Consequence: The absence of reflectors could reduce the ability for others to see the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. (excerpt)

Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and will supply reflective decals to be installed on the trailer sides, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2015. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051 or by email at productsafety@vermeer.com. (excerpt)

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

15V447000

Date: 2015-07-15. Systems: EQUIPMENT.

Defect: Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 BC900XL brush chippers manufactured January 30, 2012, to July 30, 2015. The flanges that attach the brush chipper discharge chute may crack and fail while the brush chipper is being towed, causing the chute to separate from the chipper.

Consequence: If the chute detaches from the chipper, it would become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the discharge chute rotation clamps and will add an additional clamp, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2015. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK3194.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
