Great Dane Trailers: Improperly Welded Rear Impact Guard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Great Dane Trailers is recalling 10 of its 2025 Champion Dry Van trailers because the rear impact guard may have been welded improperly. This defect can prevent the guard from being properly secured to the trailer, which increases the risk of severe injury to others during a rear-end collision. Great Dane dealers will inspect and repair the rear impact guards free of charge to ensure they meet safety standards.

Risk

The rear impact guard is designed to prevent a vehicle from sliding underneath the trailer during a crash; if the welds fail, the guard may not stay in place, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death to occupants of the striking vehicle.
