December 7, 2021 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V943000
Insufficient Lubricant in Wheel Hub
Hub bearing failure could cause the wheel hub assembly to detach, causing a loss of stability and control, creating a road hazard, and increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V943
Manufacturer Great Dane Trailers
Components WHEELS
Potential Number of Units Affected 3,288
Summary
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2022 Champion dry van and Everest refrigerated trailers. The wheel hubs may have an insufficient amount of lubrication, which could cause the hub bearings to fail.
Remedy
