NHTSA recall campaign
20V431000
What was wrong
Defect
Great Dane Trailers (Great Dane) is recalling certain Truck Bodies equipped with Maxon GPTLR and GPTWR Lift Gates with License Plate Bracket Light number 908120-01. If installed, the license plate light may aim rearward and not towards the license plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk
A license plate light aimed toward other drivers may increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Great Dane will notify owners, and the dealers will provide a corrective License Plate Kit with Light, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 11, 2021. Great Dane customer service may be contacted at 1-877-369-3493.
