EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2021 BC900XL brush chipper trailers. The mounting bolts that secure the axle assembly to the mainframe structure of the brush chipper may not have been tightened properly.
- What it can cause
- Loose axle mounting bolts may result in the axle separating from the brush chipper, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting bolts and tighten them to the correct torque specification, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 20, 2021. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051 ext. 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK4005.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 20 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Vermeer vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 5 times before this, most recently in July 2015 as 15V447000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V357000 (equipment), 21V674000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Vermeer Manufacturing Company with NHTSA on February 25, 2021 as campaign 21V119000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
