- The defect
- Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2027 Champion and Everest van trailers. The trailer landing gear k-brace welds may fail, resulting in the landing gear collapsing.
- What it can cause
- A trailer landing gear that collapses increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Great Dane will inspect and replace the landing gear k-brace as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 22, 2026. Owners may contact Great Dane's 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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 6,810 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,929 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers one model year, 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Great Dane vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 5 times before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V637000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V656000 (trailer hitches), 26V465000 (structure).
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 23, 2026 as campaign 26V708000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
