Vermeer Manufacturing Company affected trailers may have been manufactured with an incorrect material used for the tapped pintle hitch mount plate.
The short version
Vermeer Manufacturing Company reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers may have been manufactured with an incorrect material used for the tapped pintle hitch mount plate.
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.
Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will install a field kit to correct the pintle hitch mounting, free of charge.
