2006 Great Dane Trailer recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
Drivers would not be warned of a brake system failure increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The 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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
