Example complaints
Tires: “Our passenger side rear trailer tire blew out on our 2020 Imagine 2800bh. This was a lionshead westlake that came on the trailer and had about 4k miles on it. Pressure was 80 PSI when we left our site and 88 PSI when it blew according to the TPMS system. Our speed at the time of the failure was 60mph. I'm not sure what caused the tire to fail but it went out with a bang and the tread separated from the tire. The TPMS never indicated loss of air or other issue. I pulled over immediately after I heard the bang but the damage was already done. …”
NHTSA complaint #11374172, filed 2020-11, 4,000 milesSuspension: “While driving back from a family trip in nebraska on 6/30/19. I noticed that the trailer was pushing the tow vehicle to the right while breaking harder than normal. This happened multiple times during our 4.5 hour trip home and upon arriving at our house in lone tree, co. I discovered that the leaf springs on the passenger side of the trailer had flattened out. The trailer is 2 months old and the weight was minimal as none of the holding tanks were filled and half of the cabinets were empty as well as empty fridge. I contacted the manufacturer and they authorized replacement of springs. …”
NHTSA complaint #11229851, filed 2019-07, 700 milesBody and structure: “Frame is cracked. Both sides frame rails have horizontal cracks forming near the leaf spring mount brackets. The structural integrity of our camper is now compromised. If a frame rail were to fail during travel, the loss of control to the tow vehicle would follow, most likely on public roadways. The crack will be present no matter who inspects it. The failure was noticed when I inspected the frame after being made aware of how common frame rail failures are with Grand Design products. Will be following through with attempting to have the manufacturer cover this defect under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11604580, filed 2024-07Equipment: “There is currently an rv recall coming out concerning 150,000 2021 through 2023 travel trailers and fifth wheels for a faulty quick disconnect fitting in the propane system, which can crack, leak, and cause fires. I own a 2020 Grand Design, Imagine, travel trailer which had the exact same defect as this list describes. I paid my rv dealership $539 on 10/11/21 to trace the propane leak and replace the same connector which was cracked, with no signs of trauma or damage. This recall needs to be expanded to include 2020 models for sure and other manufacturers such as Grand Design.”
