2023 Great Dane Champion recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2023 Champion Dry Van trailers. The incorrect axle spindle nuts may have been installed, which could result in bearing failure.
💥 The risk
Bearing failure could lead to wheel detachment, or a loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Great Dane will provide instructions to owners to install a one-piece spindle nut, and if necessary, replace the bearings and the seal, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 10, 2022. Owners may contact Great Dane's 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.)
