    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Parking Brake / Conventional / Air

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 TG5000 vehicles manufactured November 23, 2013, to May 23, 2016. The assembly instruction manual for these vehicles called for the wrong slack adjuster pushrod length to be used, and as a result, the pushrod threads may fail, causing the trailer parking brakes to unintentionally engage.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the trailer brakes unintentionally engage it would increase the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will reset the air brake pushrod length to the correct dimension, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016. Owners may contact Vermeer customer service at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's number for this recall is IK3334.

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.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
