Body and structure: “The frame has failed on our rv it is flexing when being pulled and we are afraid it may fail completely and break free from the pull vehicle.

NHTSA complaint #11570836, filed 2024-02

Brakes: “My 2016 Grand Design Momentum 327m uses lippert axles. Three of the four grease seals leaked and were found during a state inspection. The grease contaminated the brakes. A 2018 state inspection again showed failed grease seals and contaminated brakes. The warranty covered the cost on the 2016 inspection, but not the 2018 inspection. I contacted Grand Design regarding the issue. I was told that new models were built using dexter axles to solve the problem. …”
