What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAILERS. THESE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THESE TRAILERS FAIL TO PROVIDE PRIMARY CONTINUOUS POWER TO THE REAR PINTLE HOOK ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.
What can happen
A NON-FUNCTIONING TRAILER ABS COULD ALLOW THE TRAILER TO SKID, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL ADD A WIRING HARNESS WHICH WILL BE RUN FROM THE FRONT NOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE PINTLE HOOK ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN JULY 1, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT GREAT DANE AT 1-912-644-2100.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
