2006 Great Dane Trailer recalls
Recall 07V-461: Trailer Hitches
Problem: On certain trailers, stainless steel mounting bolts of a lesser grade were used in lieu of the standard grade 8 carbon steel bolts to attach the pintle hooks.
Risk: This could result in separation of the towed vehicle from the semi-trailer which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install the grade 8 carbon steel bolts in order to insure that the mounting of the pintle hook meets the required recommendations free of charge. The recall began on october 29, 2007. Owners may contact great dane at 1-800-633-4176.
Recall 07V-406: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: On certain federal express (Fed-ex) trucks equipped with haldex antilock brake system (Abs) electronic control unit (Ecu) valves, the valves need to be modified in order to relocate the valves in an upright position. The valves contain a ball seat piston that may become dislodged during an ABS event and not perform properly.
Risk: Drivers would not be warned of a brake system failure increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Great dane is working with fed-ex to replace the ABS valves free of charge. Fed-ex has dead-lined these vehicles until the repair has been performed.
Recall 05V-493: Suspension
Problem: On certain van and refrigerated semi-trailers equipped with tuthill suspensions, model 20/22ar and rs3162, the beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.
Risk: Should the trailer wander a vehicle crash could occur without notice.
Fix: Great dane is working with tuthill to notify the owners of the affected vehicles and provide free remedy. Owners may contact tuthill at 800-753-0025 or great dane at 912-644-2100.
