Summary

Great Dane Trailers "Great Dane" is recalling certain 2019 Great Dane Everest CL reefer trailers. These trailers may have been built without brake rollers, causing a reduction in brake effectiveness.

Consequence

If brake effectiveness is reduced, the distance needed to stop the trailer may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers and install and missing brake rollers and inspect the brake drum and shoes for abnormal wear, free of charge. The recall began November 21, 2018. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
