2019 Great Dane Everest recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2019 Great Dane Everest CL reefer trailers. These trailers may have been built without brake rollers, causing a reduction in brake effectiveness.
💥 The risk
If brake effectiveness is reduced, the distance needed to stop the trailer may be lengthened, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers and install and missing brake rollers and inspect the brake drum and shoes for abnormal wear, free of charge. The recall began November 21, 2018. 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.)
