Defect: Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 flatbed trailers. In the affected trailers, the brackets used to store aluminum J-hook cargo restraint plates may break and allowing the cargo restraint plates that are stored on the bracket to fall from the trailer.
Risk: If the bracket breaks, the falling restraint plates may become a road hazard for drivers of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Great Dane will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective brackets with a newly designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on April 17, 2014. Owners may contact Great Dane at 1-800-633-4176.

Technical service bulletins are repair instructions manufacturers send dealers for known issues. Unlike recalls, the fix is not automatically free — but naming the bulletin at the service desk can save diagnosis time and support goodwill repairs.
