Defect

Safety risk
A lift gate that fails during operation increases the risk of injury.
Remedy
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.
