Great Dane recall: Structure
What is wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 flatbed trailers. In the affected trailers, the brackets used to store aluminum J-hook cargo restraint plates may break and allowing the cargo restraint plates that are stored on the bracket to fall from the trailer.
What could happen
If the bracket breaks, the falling restraint plates may become a road hazard for drivers of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective brackets with a newly designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on April 17, 2014. Owners may contact Great Dane at 1-800-633-4176.
