The short version

Vermeer Manufacturing Company reported a problem with the wheels lugs/nuts/bolts/studs. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Incorrect lug nuts may have been installed, possibly resulting in the lug nuts loosening.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the lug nuts loosen while the vehicle is in motion, the wheel may detach and become a road hazard, or there may be a loss of control of the trailer. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Vermeer will notify owners and dealers will provide replacement 17.5” wheel/tire assembly, new wheel maintenance safety sign, tire specification placard, and supplemental operator’s and maintenance manual with wheel maintenance instructions, free of charge.
