Great Dane Recall 22V159000: Suspension, Critical Fasteners

NHTSA recall 22V159000 · announced March 15, 2022 · filed by Great Dane Trailers · 1,261 units affected

The problem

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.

The risk

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.

What to do

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.
