July 30, 2020
Dear «MODEL» Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety
Act.
In March 2020, Vermeer
decided that a defect, that relates to motor vehicle safety, existed in certain model year

«MODEL» brush chippers. At that time, Vermeer
Corporation sent owners an interim notice
asking owners to inspect the wheels. Thank you for returning the inspection form and/or contacting your dealer for
the temporary wheel solution. The final field campaign remedy is now available.
What is the issue?
Certain brush chippers with specific wheels (steel rim) with bolt pattern 8 on 6½ inch (165 mm) circle to be used with
5/8-inch studs provided by a supplier:
have an incorrect lug nut contact area causing the wheel lug nuts to loosen; and/or
can develop possible cracks causing the tire to lose air pressure.
Both conditions may increase the risk of wheel loss and the risk of a crash. Death or serious injury is possible.
Property damage may also occur.
IMMEDIATE MACHINE MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED
IK00-3939 has been created to provide the necessary parts and instructions to replace the wheel and tire assembly,
install a new safety sign (shown on next page), install a wheel/tire specification placard decal, and provide a
