What's wrong?
The suspension on the 2010-2014 Vermeer R400T, R600HC, and R9X12T drilling fluid reclaimer trailers supports the trailer frame and keeps each axle aligned under load. The suspension pivot bolts hold the moving suspension arms at their pivot points, so the axle stays attached and tracks straight as the trailer moves over the road.
On affected trailers, those pivot bolts can loosen while the trailer is in service. Once a pivot bolt loses clamping force, the suspension joint no longer holds the axle in its designed position. Continued movement at that joint can let the axle separate from the trailer, which is the defect named in recall 14V410.
There is no warning sign before failure in the recall information. Owners should not rely on sound, vibration, or visible movement to identify the problem before the suspension joint fails.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
If the axle separates from the reclaimer, crash risk increases. Schedule the recall repair soon, and keep the reclaimer out of service if the axle or suspension does not look secure before transport or operation. Repair will be free at any franchised Vermeer dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2014 Vermeer R400T, R600HC, or R9X12T trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Vermeer dealer to confirm repair timing for recall number 14V410.
- Schedule the free weld repair that secures the suspension pivot bolts and helps prevent axle separation.
- Bring the recall notice if Vermeer mailed one, and give the dealer recall number 14V410 when you call.
- Inspect the trailer before use and stop towing if the axle or suspension shows loosened hardware or separation.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Vermeer technician adds welds that secure the suspension pivot bolts on the affected drilling fluid reclaimer trailers. The welds are intended to keep those bolts from loosening and allowing axle separation. The final dealer repair is free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. The remedy text does not provide an expected shop time, so plan for the service desk to confirm timing when the appointment is arranged.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V410?
Recall 14V410 covers 58 Vermeer drilling fluid reclaimer trailers, including certain R9X12T, R400T, and R600HC models. The suspension pivot bolts can loosen, leading to axle separation and increased crash risk. Vermeer dealers add welds to secure the bolts for free.
What should I do if my 2010-2014 Vermeer R400T, R600HC, or R9X12T is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 14V410. If it is, contact a Vermeer dealer and ask for recall IK00-3061. The dealer will add welds to secure the suspension pivot bolts, and the recall repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 14V410, Vermeer dealers add welds to secure the suspension pivot bolts free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is axle separation from the reclaimer trailer. If the suspension pivot bolts loosen and the axle separates, the trailer has an increased risk of a crash. Confirm your VIN, then arrange the free dealer repair before continued service.
What if I bought this Vermeer trailer used?
The recall still follows the trailer. Ownership history does not cancel a safety recall, and a used trailer owner still gets the free repair if the VIN is included. Check your VIN and reference recall 14V410 or Vermeer recall IK00-3061 when you call the dealer.
