Vermeer R9X12T: Brakes
Affects Vermeer R9X12T · 2010–2013 — about 2 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, the brake hose may become damaged when raising and lowering the kingpin assembly. This could cause the air line to wear, potentially resulting in an air leak. Air leakage could result in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance. These issues could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, relocate the rear crossmember.
