Parking brake

Summary: Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Dry Freight Van, Reefer, and Flatbed trailers manufactured January 1, 2014, to March 4, 2016, equipped with certain Bendix SR5 spring brake valves. These valves may have been improperly machined which may cause a delay of application of the spring brakes while parking.
Consequence: If there is a delay of the spring brake application, the trailer may roll away after it has decoupled from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: Great Dane will contact owners and provide a remedy kit, complete with instructions, to repair any affected SR-5 trailer relay valves, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2016. Owners may contact Great Dane Customer Service Department at 1-912-232-4471.

Service brakes, air › Disc › Caliper

Summary: Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Reefer semi trailers manufactured December 19, 2013, to June 28, 2015, and equipped with certain Meritor EX225L2, EX225L+, or Bendix ADB22X axles. The affected axle assemblies have caliper bolts that may not have been properly tightened, allowing the caliper mounting bolts to back out and the caliper to detach from the axle flange.

Remedy: Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the caliper bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2016. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-912-232-4471, or Meritor customer service at 1-866-668-7221.
