What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2018 Champion CL Drop Deck trailers equipped with aluminum crossmembers. The spare tire carriers may have been improperly installed, possibly resulting in the spare tire carrier detaching from the trailer.

The risk

A detached tire carrier would be a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.

The remedy

Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will reinstall the tire carrier using the correct attachment fasteners, free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2019. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
