What NHTSA recorded

Great dane is recalling certain model year 2011 semi van and reefer trailers manufactured from october 15, 2010, through january 31, 2011 and equipped with gunite automatic air brake slack adjusters. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.

Possible consequence

Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Great dane will notify owners and accuride/gunite will conduct the remedy for this campaign and replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall began no april 20, 2011. Owners may contact accuride at 1-800-677-3786.
