- The defect
- Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Everest, Champion, and Freedom trailers. The screws that secure the bracket cover and end cover of the iABS unit may have been improperly tightened, which can allow the screws to loosen and back out, resulting in a loss of pressure in the unit.
- What it can cause
- Pressure loss in the iABS unit can cause a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the iABS unit serial number, and replace if serial number is on the list, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 23, 2021. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,843 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Great Dane vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 2 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V094000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V159000 (suspension), 21V943000 (wheels), 21V383000 (service brakes, air), 21V094000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Great Dane Trailers with NHTSA on October 27, 2021 as campaign 21V841000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
