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.
