Sep 16, 2021

Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer) is recalling certain 2005-2021 McLaughlin and 2021 Vermeer vacuum excavators. Please see the 573 report for all affected models. The rear clearance lamps and reflex reflectors, and the rear-side clearance lamps and reflex reflectors are not sufficient. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Without the proper reflective equipment, the vacuum excavators may not be visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will install a field remedy kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 11, 2021. Owners may contact Vermeer's customer service at 1-800-829-0051 ext. 7060. Vermeer's number for this recall is VMV0013.
