2010–2011 Great Dane GPA recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Great dane is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 GPA aluminum flatbed trailers. The lock nuts and bolts attaching the air ride suspension hangers to the trailer are defective which may result in loss of fastener torque allowing the suspension hangers to become loose.
💥 The risk
The suspension components could detach from the trailer resulting in loss of control and a crash.
🔧 The fix
Great dane will replace all defective suspension nuts and bolts free of charge. The safety recall began on august 8, 2011. Owners may contact great dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
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.)
