2026 Great Dane Champion recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2026 Champion dry van trailers. The roll-up door operator bolts may not have been properly tightened and increasing the force required to open or close the door.
💥 The risk
A roll-up door that sticks and requires greater force to open or close may move too fast, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will tighten the operator bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 15, 2025. 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.)
