2022 Great Dane Champion, Great Dane Everest: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 22V159000 · 1,261 units potentially affected · filed Mar 15, 2022
What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2022 Champion Dry Van and Everest Refrigerated trailers. The suspension radius rod mounting bolts were not properly tightened, which could allow the bolts to come loose and fall out.
Why it matters
Loose or missing bolts can cause the suspension to shift rearward, resulting in a loss of vehicle control. In addition, bolts that fall off can become a road hazard. Both of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and tighten the radius rod fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 20, 2022. Owners may contact Great Dane's customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
