WHEELS:HUB
- The defect
- Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2023 Champion Dry Van trailers. The wheel hubs may have an insufficient amount of lubrication, which could cause the hub bearings to fail.
- What it can cause
- Hub bearing failure could cause the wheel hub assembly to detach, causing a loss of stability and control, or create a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the wheel hubs and add the proper amount of lubricant as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 19, 2023. 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 562 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Great Dane vehicles have been recalled over the wheels 2 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V943000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V852000 (equipment), 22V734000 (service brakes, air), 22V448000 (suspension).
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 March 31, 2023 as campaign 23V230000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
