Recall 2012183

The issue

On certain units, welds at the intersection of the trailer tongue and the frame could fail. Although bolted joints will prevent the tongue from separating, weld failure may affect the rigidity of the trailer. This could impact trailer handling, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Vermeer authorized facilities will repair the vehicles and install reinforcing supports.

Description (français)

Sur certaines unités, des soudures à l'intersection du châssis et de la flèche de la remorque pourraient faire défaut. Bien que les joints boulonnés empêcheront la flèche de se détacher, la défaillance d'une soudure pourrait diminuer la rigidité de la remorque. Cela pourrait avoir une incidence sur le comportement routier de la remorque et possiblement causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les installations autorisées Vermeer devront réparer les véhicules et poser des supports de renfort.
