Great Dane召回6,810辆厢式拖车：支腿斜撑焊缝缺陷可能致坍塌
美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）公布的召回文件（编号26V708）显示，Great Dane公司召回6,810辆2027款Champion与Everest厢式拖车：拖车支腿（起落架）的K形斜撑焊缝可能失效，支腿一旦坍塌会增加人员受伤风险。厂家10月23日向NHTSA提交报告，NHTSA确认函于10月27日发出。
分车型看，Champion厢式拖车占5,623辆，生产期为2025年12月9日至2026年10月5日；Everest厢式拖车1,187辆，生产期为2026年1月9日至10月12日。缺陷部件是供应商Alliance Steel生产的K形斜撑组件，厂家估计约10%的召回车辆装有缺陷部件；今年9月30日与10月1日，厂家先后在自家生产设施内发现两起支腿失效，随后追溯到该组件的焊缝问题。
补救方案是免费检查：经销商与服务网点将检查斜撑焊缝，并按需免费更换K形斜撑。车主通知信预计12月22日寄出。察觉支腿不垂直是这一缺陷的预警信号，车主如发现异常可先联系厂家核查车辆识别代号（VIN）是否在召回范围内。

Great Dane Recalls 6,810 Van Trailers: Landing Gear Brace Weld Defect Could Cause Collapse
Recall documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), campaign number 26V708, show that Great Dane is recalling 6,810 model year 2027 Champion and Everest van trailers: welds on the K-brace of the trailers' landing gear may fail, and a landing gear collapse increases the risk of injury. The manufacturer filed its report with NHTSA on October 23, and the agency's acknowledgment letter is dated October 27.
By model, the recall covers 5,623 Champion van trailers built from December 9, 2025 to October 5, 2026, and 1,187 Everest van trailers built from January 9 to October 12, 2026. The defective component is the K-brace assembly supplied by Alliance Steel, and the manufacturer estimates about 10% of the recalled trailers contain the defect. Two landing gear failures occurred inside the company's own production facilities on September 30 and October 1, which led investigators to the weld problem.
The remedy is a free inspection: dealers and service centers will examine the brace welds and replace the K-brace free of charge if needed. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 22. A landing gear leg that does not sit perpendicular is a warning sign of the defect, and owners who notice it can have their vehicle identification number (VIN) checked against the recall.
Great Dane customer service can be reached at 1-877-369-3493; owners can also call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9171) or enter a VIN on the NHTSA website.
