2015 GREAT DANE REEFER; 2015 GREAT DANE VAN
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain 2015 Reefer and Van Trailers manufactured between March 3, 2014, and February 24, 2015, that are equipped with specific Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 Long Stroke Air Brake Actuators. The affected actuators may have an incompletely attached internal rubber diaphragm, which could allow internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm. This leakage may trap air pressure in the parking brake section and prevent the actuator from fully releasing, potentially causing brake drag and overheated wheel-end service brakes that could result in fire.
Great Dane dealers will inspect and replace the brake actuator as necessary at no charge to owners. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Affected consumers should contact Great Dane customer service at 1-912-232-4471 to have their trailers inspected and repaired.

If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.
Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake actuator and replace, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-912-232-4471.
