NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 16V486000.
Defect description
Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 DT6, HG4000, HC6000, HG8000, TG5000, TG7000 and WC2300XL, 2014-2015 TG9000 and 2015-2016 WC2500XL trailers, 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.
Safety consequence

Manufacturer remedy
