What's wrong?
The trailer frame on the 2020-2025 Vermeer Lpsgt, Lpxdt, and Lpsdt vacuum excavator trailers is the main structure that carries the tank, equipment, axles, and wheels. It also keeps the trailer stable while it is being towed, especially when the load shifts over bumps, turns, and braking.
On affected trailers, higher than expected loads put elevated stress into the frame. Vermeer traced the concern to trailers designed for heavier configurations, including units with 20,000 lb. and 24,000 lb. gross vehicle weight ratings. When the trailer is loaded above its rating, that stress raises the risk of a crack forming in the frame. A cracked or broken frame reduces trailer stability while towing.
Owners can find the warning sign through visual inspection of the trailer frame over its service life. Look for cracks in the frame structure, especially around high-stress areas, before towing or loading the trailer.

What's the safety risk?
Trailer frame cracks can make the trailer unstable. That instability can cause loss of control and increase crash risk. Visual cracks in the frame are the warning sign owners can look for, so treat cracks as a reason to stop towing and contact a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Vermeer dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2025 Vermeer Lpsgt, Lpxdt, or Lpsdt vacuum excavator trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Vermeer dealer to schedule the free trailer-frame reinforcement-plate repair that addresses frame cracking or breaking and trailer instability.
- Bring the recall notice if Vermeer mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V128 and Vermeer recall VMV0103 when you call.
- Limit towing until the repair is complete, and avoid loading or towing the trailer in conditions that increase sway or instability.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Vermeer technician installs reinforcement plates on the trailer frame to address cracking or breakage that can reduce towing stability. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Vermeer also reimburses owners who paid for the same safety repair before the product safety alert field campaign. To request reimbursement, contact an authorized independent Vermeer dealer and provide proof of the completed repair and payment.
