EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Great Dane Trailers, (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2023 Champion trailers. The VINs on the certification label may be incorrect. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- What it can cause
- An owner that references an incorrect VIN label may not recognize their trailer is involved in a safety recall, and may not have the recall remedy performed, which could increase the risk of injury, fire, or a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Great Dane has mailed new certification decals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 05, 2024. 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 25 vehicles this is a small campaign: 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. 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 equipment 3 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V328000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V230000 (wheels), 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 December 15, 2023 as campaign 23V852000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
