Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain model year 2011 Dry Freight Semi-Trailers. Welds at the bottom of the I-beam bogie frame may have been improperly applied. The cracking and failure of these welds may lead to hanger and axle disengagement.
A hanger and axle disengagement from the bogie frame could lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. The owner was notified on March 4, 2013, and repairs are well underway. Therefore, an owner notification will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
