Defect. Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Everest, Champion, and Freedom trailers. The screws that secure the bracket cover and end cover of the iABS unit may have been improperly tightened, which can allow the screws to loosen and back out, resulting in a loss of pressure in the unit.

Risk. Pressure loss in the iABS unit can cause a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will inspect the iABS unit serial number, and replace if serial number is on the list, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 23, 2021. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
