Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2014-2016 TG5000 Tub Grinder trailers manufactured November 23, 2013, to May 23, 2016. 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. If the kingpin does not remain properly connected to the trailer, the trailer may detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
