Has your Great Dane been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Great Dane dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Suspension

Summary
On certain van and refrigerated semi-trailers equipped with tuthill suspensions, model 20/22AR and RS3162, the beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.
