Description

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Vermeer-Freeman TR620 trailers manufactured August 8, 2014, to June 17, 2016, and TR626 trailers manufactured May 5, 2015, to June 17, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking. If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
