An official Health Canada notice concerns Vermeer. Certain trailer-mounted brush chipper units were equipped with incorrect wheel lug nuts during the assembly process.

In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the wheel lug nuts. Published 2011-09-29.
