The defect
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain 2026 Champion dry van trailers. The roll-up door operator bolts may not have been properly tightened and increasing the force required to open or close the door.
The risk
A roll-up door that sticks and requires greater force to open or close may move too fast, increasing the risk of injury.
