The three recalls cover 384 trucks and trailers, with defects involving trailer coupling, sleeper bunk restraints, and cab structural bolts.

Great Dane Recalls 69 Champion Trailers

Great Dane’s recall involves certain 2027 Champion dry van trailers that may have been manufactured with an incorrect bottom plate in the upper coupler assembly. The defect could allow the kingpin to protrude, preventing the trailer from coupling properly to a truck.

Owners have been instructed not to use the affected trailers until repairs are completed.

Great Dane will inspect the upper coupler assemblies and replace them where necessary at no charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 4, 2026.

Owners can contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493 for additional information.

The affected manufacturers include Wabash, International Motors, and Great Dane Trailers.

Wabash Recalls Refrigerated Bodies Over Step Issue

Wabash is recalling 357 model-year 2021 through 2026 Econex refrigerated-body vehicles because the side-door stirrup steps may not be properly secured. If a step detaches during use, it could increase the risk of injury.

Wabash plans to repair the affected stirrup steps at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed in September. Owners with questions can contact Wabash customer service at 1-765-771-5404.

Wabash Also Recalls Four Dry Freight Trucks

A separate Wabash recall affects four model-year 2025 and 2026 dry-freight trucks equipped with liftgates. The company said the deck pins may fail, allowing the liftgate platform to fall unexpectedly.

Wabash, working with Hiab, will replace the deck pins and bushing kits free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed beginning August 21.

International Motors Recall Affects More Than 15,000 Trucks

The largest recall involves 15,236 International Motors vehicles, including certain model year 2021, 2023 through 2027 MV trucks and 2026 through 2027 HV trucks.

According to NHTSA, the battery interconnect cable may contact the auxiliary stud and battery hold-down bracket, creating the potential for a short circuit. A short circuit can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.

Dealers will install protective plastic saddles on the positive interconnect cable and, where necessary, add wind laces and a J-bolt between the batteries at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed on September 14.

International said this action replaces and expands an earlier recall, NHTSA Recall 25V534. Vehicles that were previously repaired under that campaign will still require the updated remedy. Owners can contact International customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and reference recall number 26510.

Great Dane Recalls 11 Dry Van Trailers

Great Dane is recalling 11 model year 2027 Champion dry van trailers because they may have been manufactured without rear impact guard extension channels. Without those components, the trailers do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 224 covering rear impact protection.

Dealers will install the missing extension channels free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning September 15. Owners can contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
