Example complaints
Other or unknown: “I have an inclusion (crack?) on the frame web of both main frames just forward of the axle assembly. I have seen this similar inclusion on other RVs that are the same model. There seems to be a major defect with this model. Also I have missing fasteners in the structural wall assembly that also seems to be chronic.”
NHTSA complaint #11588317, filed 2024-05Body and structure: “We are a fulltime RVer living in this unit for 11 months. We had missing lag bolts that attaches the upper deck to the frame and what bolts were installed were too small. They were 3/8 x 3 in a 1/2 hole that was supposed to be 1/2 x 3.5 . We called Grand Design in Indiana and opened a case. They told us to take our unit to the dealership where we bought it and have the frame inspected for flex and the proper lag bolts installed. Grand Design told us if there was any cracks in the steel then it will need further repair in Indiana. …”

My husband has changed the control number to 5, 6,7,8,9,10 and the trailer never stops moving we did this test 7/19/24 before taking out to grand design. we asked if they could replace the brakes to 8k, was told no. …”
