Great Dane recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain model year 2015 Converter Dollies manufactured March 7, 2014, to May 16, 2014. Due a problem with a brake valve, the affected trailers may experience brake drag.
What could happen
If the trailer brake drags, the wheel end may overheat, resulting in a fire. Also, the wheel may detach. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Great Dane will notify owners. Great Dane will replace the suspect TR-3 valve with a new replacement TR-3 valve and re-orientation of the DC-4 valve. The recall began on December 19, 2014. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
