Great Dane Recalls

Hazard: If the caliper detaches from the axle flange, braking performance would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Without a properly seated axle nut retaining clip, the wheel nut may loosen resulting in excessive wheel end play and a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the brakes drag on the converter dolly, the wheel end may overheat, resulting in a fire. Also, the wheel may detach. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.

Hazard: If the trailer brake drags, the wheel end may overheat, resulting in a fire. Also, the wheel may detach. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Hazard: The missing weld could result in trailer separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the bracket breaks, the falling restraint plates may become a road hazard for drivers of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A hanger and axle disengagement from the bogie frame could lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A wheel separation may result in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a separated wheel may become a significant road hazard.

Hazard: THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS COULD DETACH FROM THE TRAILER RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH.

Hazard: SLACK ADJUSTERS WITH THIS FLOW NOTCH COULD CRACK UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THE RAMP COULD FALL RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.

Hazard: SEPARATION OF A WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE WILL REDUCE THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: MISSING WELDS COULD ALLOW THE AXLE TO ROLL OUT OF POSITION AND POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE HANDLING OF THE TRAILER SUCH THAT A DRIVER MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IF A KINGPIN WERE TO BREAK OFF DURING OVER THE ROAD OPERATION, IT COULD RESULT IN THE SEPARATION OF THE TRAILER FROM THE TRACTOR WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE SEMI-TRAILER WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Hazard: DRIVERS WOULD NOT BE WARNED OF A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE FITTING FAILS WHILE IN USE, THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM COULD DEPRESSURIZE, CAUSING THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE SUDDENLY, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: SHOULD THE TRAILER WANDER A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT NOTICE.

Hazard: THIS COULD RESULT IN REDUCTION OR COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IN AN OVER-CURRENT CONDITION IN THE ECU AND LEAD TO EXCESSIVE HEAT, SMOKE, AND POSSIBLE FIRE.

Hazard: IF LEFT UNDETECTED OR CORRECTED IT COULD LEAD TO THE SEPARATION OF THE FIFTH WHEEL TOP PLATE FROM ITS MOUNTING STRUCTURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

Hazard: TRAILER TURN OVER OR A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.

Hazard: FAILURE OF THE VALVE IN AN EMPTY OR LIGHTLY LOADED TRAILER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION COULD RESULT IN A HARD APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES, POSSIBLY LOCKING UP THE TRAILER WHEELS AND RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEING UNABLE TO APPLY THE TRAILER PARKING/EMERGENCY SPRING BRAKES DURING PARKING IN THE EVENT OF A TRAILER SUPPLY LINE FAILURE. UNINTENDED ROLLAWAY COULD OCCUR, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT OR ANY BYSTANDERS.

Hazard: A NON-FUNCTIONING TRAILER ABS COULD ALLOW THE TRAILER TO SKID, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM TO CYCLE RAPIDLY AND EXTEND STOPPING DISTANCES DURING AN ABS CONTROLLED BRAKE APPLICATION POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: TRAILER TURN OVER OR A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.
