As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 16V427000.
Defect description
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.
Safety consequence
If the trailer brakes unintentionally engage it would increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
