2014 Vermeer TR620 recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2014 TR620 Trommel trailers manufactured June 2, 2014, to September 27, 2014. The affected trailers may have been manufactured with an incorrect material used for the tapped pintle hitch mount plate.
💥 The risk
The incorrect material may allow the pintle hitch mounting bolts to loosen. This could cause a separation of the towed trailer from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of crash.
🔧 The fix
Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will install a field kit to correct the pintle hitch mounting, free of charge. The recall began on December 18, 2014. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK003100.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
