Component: TRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Defect Description
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2014-2016 TG5000 Tub Grinder trailers manufactured November 23, 2013, to May 23, 2016. The spherical washers used during the assembly of the kingpin may have been installed incorrectly, possibly causing the attaching bolts to fail and therefore the kingpin to detach.
Consequence / Hazard
If the kingpin does not remain properly connected to the trailer, the trailer may detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Proposed Solution
Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the installation of the spherical washers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-641-628-3141.
