“When checking for frame failure per Grand Designs TSB. My RV shop found 4 missing lag bolts and the ones installed were incorrect ( 3/8 installed should be 1/2 ). Then in examining the front upper frame they found cracks on both sides. I have pictures of the cracks.”
NHTSA complaint #11598706, filed 2024-07“The frame of our Grand Design Solitude has failed. As a result the front bedroom slide has begin to move out while towing and in turn destroyed the main bed and closet in the RV. This problem was noticed and reported to Grand Design in March of 2024. We were assured then that it was still safe to tow and to bring it to a dealership when we were able to. Because we are full time RVers, our first availability to bring the RV for service was June 7, 2024. …”
NHTSA complaint #11630369, filed 2024-12“On January 18, 2026, while towing my 2022 Grand Design Solitude 310GK near Bouse, Arizona, I discovered a serious problem and pulled off the road. The rear axle had become detached/displaced. At the time, I did not know exactly what had occurred or what caused the axle event. The RV was subsequently delivered to a repair facility on March 27, 2026. During the repair process, significant structural/frame damage was progressively discovered, including cracking in the spring-hanger/frame area. …”
NHTSA complaint #11762244, filed 2026-09“We are experiencing signs of excessive frame flex like many others with similar Lippert frames. We have a squeaky floor in the front and rear. We have furniture rubbing in the front and pulling away from the wall. The stairs inside the door are rubbing as well. The rig makes excessive creaking noises while being towed. We have an appointment to take it to the Grand Design service center in June. Until that time, we will not be towing anywhere. We are frankly a little concerned about the 600 mile trip.”
NHTSA complaint #11588427, filed 2024-05“While performing a factory recall on the RV, the mobile RV tech discovered underlying issues. He suggested that we get an in-depth evaluation. I contacted and dropped the RV at the shop for diagnosis. The shop discovered extensive frame damage (weld break) at the main beam connecting the pin box and also total frame break and separation on the upper deck floor support. There is substantial floor sagging above the outriggers extending from the living area through the back of the RV. The whole rear of the RV is sagging, causing wall cracking and slideout damage. …”
