Great Dane recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2019 Freedom Platform trailers. The platform trailers may have been produced without a rear impact guard (RIG) certification plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 223, "Rear Impact Guards", and 224, "Rear Impact Protection."
What could happen
Rear impact guards with missing plates may not be identified in the event of a safety recall, potentially resulting in an un-remedied safety issue and an increased risk of a crash or injury.
The fix
Dealers will provide new RIG certification plates stamped with the trailer date of manufacture, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 24, 2022. Owners may contact Great Dane's customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
