2018 Great Dane Everest SS recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2018 Everest SS refrigerated trailers. A plug for the front brake chamber service port may not have been properly tightened, possibly reducing the service brake pressure.
💥 The risk
A reduction of service brake pressure can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Great Dane will tighten the diagnostic tee pipe plug or remove the tee. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-912-232-4471.
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.)
