Transport Canada recalls
02- Brakes#2022013
15 units affected
Issue: On certain trailers, the cover for the electronic control unit of the antilock brake system (ABS) may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the cover could loosen and cause a loss of trailer service brakes. Safety Risk: A loss of trailer brakes could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Great Dane will notify owners by mail and instruct you to check the ABS valve serial number to confirm if your valve needs replacement. If your valve does require replacement Great Dane will replace the iABS valve at Great Dane dealer or authorized repair center.
- Wheels#2020205
3 units affected
Issue: On certain refrigerated van trailers, the axle nut retaining clips may not have been inspected after assembly. If the clip is not installed correctly, a wheel end (hub, wheel and tires) could separate from the trailer. Safety Risk: The separation of a wheel end could increase the risk of a crash. Wheels that separate could also strike another road user. Corrective Actions: Great Dane will notify the owner by mail and instruct them to them to inspect the axle nut retaining clips and install new ones, if necessary.
