Summary

Great Dane Trailers "Great Dane" is recalling certain 2018 Everest SS refrigerated trailers. A plug for the front brake chamber service port may not have been properly tightened, possibly reducing the service brake pressure.

Consequence

A reduction of service brake pressure can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Great Dane will tighten the diagnostic tee pipe plug or remove the tee. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-912-232-4471.
