SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2024 BC1200XL brush chippers. The mounting bolts which secures the axle to the mainframe may not have been properly tightened.
- What it can cause
- A loose axle mounting bolt can result in the axle separating from the brush chipper, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the mounting bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 22, 2024. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-800-829-0051, ext. 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK4576.
- 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.nhtsa.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 84 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% 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, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Vermeer vehicles have been recalled over the suspension once before this, most recently in July 2014 as 14V410000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 July 2, 2024 as campaign 24V505000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
