NHTSA #22V328000Reported May 12, 2022 · Great Dane Trailers
Potentially affected: 72 vehicles
Defect description

Safety consequence
Rear impact guards with missing plates may not be identified in the event of a safety recall, potentially resulting in an un-remedied safety issue and an increased risk of a crash or injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Dealers will provide new RIG certification plates stamped with the trailer date of manufacture, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 24, 2022. Owners may contact Great Dane's customer service at 1-877-369-3493.

Potentially affected: 102 vehicles
Defect description
