What NHTSA recorded

On certain trailers, during manufacture, some of the pipe fittings were drilled too deep, resulting in a thin wall in the male pipe thread. The male pipe thread may break off during or after assembly.

Possible consequence

If the fitting fails while in use, the air brake system could depressurize, causing the brakes to engage suddenly, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Dealers will quarantine the vehicles and replace defective fitting free of charge. The recall began on december 21, 2006. Owners may contact great dane at 1-800-633-4176.
