- The defect
- Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2026 Champion dry van trailers. The roll-up door operator bolts may not have been properly tightened and increasing the force required to open or close the door.
- What it can cause
- A roll-up door that sticks and requires greater force to open or close may move too fast, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten the operator bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 15, 2025. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
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 444 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Great Dane vehicles have been recalled over the structure 5 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V689000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V383000 (structure), 25V200000 (tires).
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 June 26, 2025 as campaign 25V429000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
