Issue
Issue:
On certain brush chipper trailers, the bolts that attach the safety chains aren't long enough. As a result, if the trailer becomes uncoupled from the tow vehicle, the safety chains could separate from the trailer. This could allow the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle.
Safety Risk:
A trailer that separates from the tow vehicle could create the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Vermeer will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and replace the bolts that attach the safety chains to the tongue/towbar.
