Issue
On certain brush chipper trailers, the service and maintenance manuals list the wrong torque specification for the wheel nuts. As a result, some trailers may have had the lug nuts over-tightened during servicing. This can damage the wheel studs and cause them to break. If this happens, a wheel could separate from the trailer.
Safety Risk
A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.
Corrective Action
Vermeer will notify owners by mail and provide you with replacement manuals and instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the lug nuts and wheel studs.
