Correction: Affected valves will be corrected by way of a repair kit.

Risk: If the bracket breaks, the falling restraint plates may become a road hazard for drivers of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective brackets with a newly designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on April 17, 2014. Owners may contact Great Dane at 1-800-633-4176.
