What happened

Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain 2019 Great Dane Champion Composite Plate dry freight trailers because they may not have enough reflective conspicuity tape along their length. This insufficient reflective tape reduces the trailers' visibility to other drivers, which increases the risk of a crash. The trailers fail to meet federal safety requirements for reflective devices.

To remedy the issue, Great Dane will notify owners and dealers will install an additional 12 inches of reflective conspicuity tape on each side of the trailer at no charge. The recall began on November 30, 2018. Affected owners should contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
