- What it can cause
- A rear impact guard that is not properly secured can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair the rear impact guard as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 5, 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 10 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% 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, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Great Dane vehicles have been recalled over the structure 4 times before this, most recently in November 2018 as 18V825000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V848000 (structure), 25V200000 (tires), 24V922000 (trailer hitches).
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 September 13, 2024 as campaign 24V689000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
