What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain 2023 Champion and Everest trailers. The recall addresses a defect in the brake pad retaining assembly where the retaining clip may be loose or detach, potentially loosening the brake pad.

If the retaining clip or bracket detaches, it can damage the brake pad, which reduces brake performance. Additionally, the detached part may damage a tire valve, causing a flat tire, or become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
