The problem
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain model year 2015 Converter Dolly trailers manufactured February 18, 2014, October 27, 2014. Due to a problem with the brake valve, the affected dollies may experience brake drag.
The risk
If the brakes drag on the converter dolly, the wheel end may overheat, resulting in a fire. Also, the wheel may detach. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
The fix
Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected brake valves, free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2015. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
