2023 Great Dane Champion: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 22V448000 · 9 units potentially affected · filed Jun 23, 2022
What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2023 Champion Dry Van trailers. The incorrect axle spindle nuts may have been installed, which could result in bearing failure.
Why it matters
Bearing failure could lead to wheel detachment, or a loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Great Dane will provide instructions to owners to install a one-piece spindle nut, and if necessary, replace the bearings and the seal, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 10, 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.
