14V410000

Date: 2014-07-08. Systems: SUSPENSION.

Defect: Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 R9X12T trailers manufactured November 28, 2012, to March 21, 2014; R400T trailers manufactured August 27, 2013, to June 16, 2014; and R600HC trailers manufactured October 28, 2013, to April 25, 2014. In the affected drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the suspension pivot bolts could loosen causing axle separation.

Consequence: If the axle separates from the reclaimer, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will add welds to secure the suspension pivot bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2014. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK00-3061.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

13V343000

Date: 2013-08-05. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.

Defect: 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.

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: 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.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

13V258000

Date: 2013-06-21. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.

Defect: Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 R9X12T trailers manufactured May 25, 2012, through May 3, 2013. The air-brake booster valve was installed incorrectly, allowing the brake application time to exceed the permissable amount. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Consequence: The extra brake application time may result in extended stopping distances, increasing the risk of crash.

Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will re-plumb the air brake booster valve, free of charge. The recall began on July 29, 2013. Owners may contact Vermeer at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's recall number is IK00-1843.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

12V425000

Date: 2012-08-31. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.

Defect: Vermeer is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 R9X12T drilling fluid reclaimer trailers manufactured from March 01, 2010, through August 03, 2012. Due to interference between the air brake hoses and the frame cross-member at the rear axle, the air brake hose may become pinched or be damaged, resulting in the loss of air pressure to the air brakes.

Consequence: A loss of air pressure to the air brakes can result in a loss of service brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will re-reroute the air brake hose, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2012. Owners may contact Vermeer at 641-628-3141.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

12V291000

Date: 2012-06-22. Systems: STRUCTURE.

Defect: VERMEER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2012 VERMEER R9X12T TRAILERS BECAUSE OF AN INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE SLACK ADJUSTER ARM AND THE TRAILER FRAME. AS SUCH, THE AXLE COULD CONTACT THE ARM, BENDING IT. OVERTIME, ONE OR MORE OF THE BRAKES COULD LOSE ITS BRAKING CAPACITY DUE TO THE BENT SLACK ADJUSTER ARM.

Consequence: REDUCED BRAKING CAPACITY CAN LEAD TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND/OR CRASH.

Remedy: VERMEER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND WILL REPLACE THE AXLE, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 6, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VERMEER AT 1-641-628-3141.

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.
