What's wrong?
The SAF Holland Tire Pilot Plus system on these 2024 Great Dane Everest and Champion trailers is a tire pressure management system. Its electronic regulator assembly controls the air supply that helps keep the trailer tires at the intended pressure while the trailer is in service.
On trailers with the electronic control unit version, the system can allow all 8 tires to lose pressure while driving faster than 45 mph. Great Dane's filing says the root cause has not been identified. The issue applies to Tire Pilot Plus units with electronic control units, while manual pressure adjustment units are not included.
Drivers are supposed to get a warning light when tire pressure drops below 80 PSI. On affected units, that warning light is intermittent, so the driver does not have a reliable warning sign before the tire pressure drops.
Who's affected?
Spans the Everest and Champion trailer lines for 2024, with the same SAF Holland Tire Pilot Plus tire inflation system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
Tire pressure loss while driving can cause loss of stability and control or tire tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash. The warning light is meant to alert the driver below 80 PSI, but on affected trailers that light can work intermittently. If the trailer feels unstable or the light comes on, slow down and arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Great Dane dealer once Great Dane opens it.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Great Dane Everest or Champion trailer is included in this recall.
- Follow the interim instructions in the owner letter Great Dane mailed on January 05, 2024: disable the Tire Pilot Plus system and manage tire pressure manually.
- Contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493 for current repair timing and reference recall number 23V427 when you call.
- Ask a franchised Great Dane dealer about the free Tire Pilot Plus replacement and reactivation once the final repair opens.
- Keep tire pressure checked manually before each trip and avoid driving faster than 45 mph until the Tire Pilot Plus system is repaired.
What happens at the repair
For now, the interim repair is to disable the Tire Pilot Plus system and manage tire pressure manually. Once the final repair is available, a Great Dane technician will work with the equipment manufacturer to replace and reactivate the Tire Pilot Plus system, free under the recall. SAF-HOLLAND handles remedy reimbursements and will pay the customer directly for performing the prescribed repair. Keep repair paperwork and follow the instructions from Great Dane or SAF-HOLLAND for payment handling.
