Re: PRO-TORQ Axle Spindle Nut Keepers

To Whom It May Concern:

This notice is being sent in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic Motor Vehicle

Safety Act.

Great Dane Trailers has decided that a defect exists in certain model year 2016 dry freight van trailers and

converter dollies manufactured at our Kewanee, IL plant. We have determined that the axle nut retaining

clips may not have been properly seated or may have been omitted. Disengagement or omission of the

axle nut retaining clips could lead to excessive wheel end play and/or result in a loss of control or a crash.

To address and remedy this defect, Great Dane Trailers has produced a field inspection and repair

procedure. You should immediately present the trailers referenced on this letter to a Great Dane Branch

or Dealer service facility for inspection of the PRO-TORQ wheel end retainer clips. To find a branch or

dealer service facility you may visit www.greatdanetrailers.com and click on the “Locations” tab or by

calling Great Dane Customer Service at (877) 369-3493. It is estimated that this inspection/repair will

take one to two hour(s) and will be performed free of charge.

If you had this repair performed before you received this letter, you may be eligible to receive

reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy of the problem associated with this

recall. For more information contact Great Dane Customer Service at (877) 369-3493.

Federal regulations require that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this

notice to the lessee within ten days.
