The defect

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 R9X12T trailers manufactured May 25, 2012, through May 3, 2013. The air-brake booster valve was installed incorrectly, allowing the brake application time to exceed the permissable amount. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."

The risk

The extra brake application time may result in extended stopping distances, increasing the risk of crash.

The remedy

Vermeer will notify owners, and dealers will re-plumb the air brake booster valve, free of charge. The recall began on July 29, 2013. Owners may contact Vermeer at 1-641-628-3141. Vermeer's recall number is IK00-1843.
