2007–2009 Great Dane Trailer recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Great dane is recalling certain 2007 through 2009 semi-trailer vans equipped with arvinmeritor tl axles shipped between april 2005 through july 2008. The spindle nut may not have been properly torqued or not torqued at all allowing excessive end-play in the wheel-end system that could progress to a wheel separation.
💥 The risk
Separation of a wheel from the vehicle will reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle and could result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Great dane will notify owners and recall repairs will be performed by arvinmeritor free of charge. The safety recall began on january 31, 2011. Owners may contact great dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493 or arvinmeritor at 1-248-435-1725.
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.)
