2024–2025 Great Dane Champion: Structure recall
NHTSA campaign 25V848000 · 3 units potentially affected · filed Dec 9, 2025
What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Champion trailers. The cylinder pin in the slide liftgate may be insufficiently lubricated, which can cause the pin to seize, resulting in lift gate failure.
Why it matters
A lift gate that fails during operation increases the risk of injury.
The fix
Great Dane will work with Hiab to replace the lift gate cylinder pins, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 28, 2026. Owners may contact Great Dane's customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
