Re: iABS Sensor Cable Routing To Whom It May Concern:
This notice is being sent in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Great Dane LLC has discovered that a defect may exist in certain model year 2021 and 2022 Champion dry van trailers manufactured in our Brazil IN, Danville PA, Elysburg PA, Kewanee IL, and Terre Haute IN, manufacturing facilities, as well as certain model year 2022 Everest refrigerated van trailers manufactured in our Brazil IN manufacturing facility, all equipped with WABCO 2S/2M iABS systems. Great Dane has found that an error in the installation instructions within the software used for the end-of-line brake validation tests, and because of that some trailers within the listed groups may have sensor cables plugged into the wrong ports on the ECU.
Since installation of the sensor cables into the incorrect ports on the ECU may cause the antilock portion of the braking system to malfunction during certain ABS events, this could result in longer than anticipated stopping distances and/or increased risk of a crash. It is important to note that even with the potential installation issue, the pneumatic brakes will continue to operate normally outside of an ABS event, and that no accidents or injuries have been reported so far from the field. Great Dane LLC has produced a field inspection and repair procedure to address this possible issue. You should immediately present the trailers referenced on this letter to a Great Dane Branch or Dealer service facility for inspection and correction of the iABS 2S/2M sensor cable routing. To find a branch or dealer service facility you may visit www.greatdane.com and click on the “Locations” tab or by calling Great Dane Customer Service at (877) 369-3493. It is estimated that this inspection/repair will take approximately fifteen (15) minutes and will be performed free of charge.
If you had this repair performed before you received this letter, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy of the problem associated with this recall. If you choose to perform this recall yourself, please contact Great Dane Customer Service to coordinate. For more information contact Great Dane Customer Service at (877) 369-3493.
Federal regulations require that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days.
If you conclude that Great Dane LLC has not enabled you to remedy this condition without charge and/or in a reasonable time, a complaint may be submitted to the:
Administrator
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE
Washington, DC 20590
