NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 14V646000.
Defect description
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2014 TR620 Trommel trailers manufactured June 2, 2014, to September 27, 2014. The affected trailers may have been manufactured with an incorrect material used for the tapped pintle hitch mount plate.
Safety consequence
