Vermeer Manufacturing Company due to incorrect machining, the kingpin used with the assembly that converts the tracked grinder into a trailer can experience excessive wear.
The short version
Vermeer Manufacturing Company reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.
Vermeer is recalling two model year 2012 and one model year 2013 HG6000TX horizontal grinder trailers, manufactured from July 20, 2012, through August 21, 2012, equipped with a dolly transport option. Due to incorrect machining, the kingpin used with the assembly that converts the tracked grinder into a trailer can experience excessive wear.
Wear on the kingpin may result in its failure, which could allow the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, possibly striking another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the kingpin free of charge.
