Antilock (service brakes)
On certain federal express (fed-ex) trucks equipped with haldex antilock brake system (ABS) electronic control unit (ECU) valves, the valves need to be modified in order to relocate the valves in an upright position. The valves contain a ball seat piston that may become dislodged during an ABS event and not perform properly.
Remedy: Great dane is working with fed-ex to replace the ABS valves free of charge. Fed-ex has dead-lined these vehicles until the repair has been performed.
-
Suspension
On certain van and refrigerated semi-trailers equipped with tuthill suspensions, model 20/22ar and rs3162, the beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.
Remedy: Great dane is working with tuthill to notify the owners of the affected vehicles and provide free remedy. Owners may contact tuthill at 800-753-0025 or great dane at 912-644-2100.

Checking a specific 2006 Great Dane Trailer
How do I know if my 2006 Great Dane Trailer has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 3 campaigns currently list the 2006 Great Dane Trailer; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Great Dane dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 05V493000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
