Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Great Dane Trailers is recalling approximately 562 of its 2023 Champion Dry Van trailers because the wheel hubs may not have enough lubricant. This insufficient lubrication can cause the hub bearings to overheat and fail, potentially causing the entire wheel assembly to detach from the trailer while in motion. Owners of these specific trailers should contact a Great Dane dealer for a free inspection and lubrication service.

Risk

If the hub bearings fail, the wheel hub assembly can completely detach from the trailer. This can cause the driver to lose stability and control of the vehicle or create a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
