Great Dane, Champion 2024: Suspension Issue
Trailer company Great Dane has issued a trailer recall after discovering a suspension problem. According to reports, a loose axle nut may allow the wheel to detach from the trailer, increasing the risk of an accident.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has shared documents stating that Great Dane is recalling approximately 350 Champion 2024 model trailers. In the affected trailers, the axle nut may have been improperly tightened, so the company will inspect and tighten the axle nut as needed, free of charge.
The defect was detected on November 30th when a user reported a wheel separation in one of their units. After receiving this information, Great Dane initiated an investigation, revealing that the axle nut might not have been properly tightened at the wheel’s end.
Units manufactured before this period were equipped with a different spindle nut, while those produced after underwent a new inspection at the manufacturing plant. Great Dane estimates that only 1% of the affected model has the defect. Notification letters to owners are expected to be sent on February 10, 2024.
