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

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 21V841000.
