16 recalls filed for the Imagine, each with its years named. That is a match on model and year, not on your VIN, so ask Grand Design to check yours against each. Any stop instruction comes first and stays in view. Open a row for the whole item.
Safety chains: a crash risk if the trailer comes off the tow vehicle, because the safety chains are rated too low.
Grand Design filed the recall Oct 9 for 148 RVs, model years 2026 and 2027. This one applies if yours is an Imagine 25DBE built July 21, 2025 to July 22, 2026, with the increased GVWR, 7,600 lbs or more, and the original chains. As filed, the trailer’s GVWR went up and the safety chain specification did not change with it, so the chains are rated below the GVWR.
A dealer swaps in safety chains rated at or above the trailer’s GVWR, free.
Letters are expected Nov 19.
We have no count of repairs for this one.
In the record: Grand Design 910069, NHTSA 26V667000, phone 1-574-825-9679.
Inverter prep circuit: a fire risk inside the wall or electrical panel, from an inverter prep wire that can overheat once an inverter loads the circuit.
Until the breaker is replaced, do not install an inverter on that circuit or use one already connected to it, the owner letter says.
Grand Design filed the recall July 28 for 7 RVs, model year 2027. This one applies if yours is an Imagine IM2300MK built June 24, 2026. As filed, the circuit’s wire was changed to a thinner gauge and the breaker was not changed with it, so the breaker is too large to protect the wire.
A dealer replaces the 30-amp breaker on that circuit with a 20-amp one and tests the circuit, up to 45 minutes’ work, free.

Outlet cover screws: a short circuit or electrical arc where outlet cover screws may touch 120-volt wiring, a fire risk.
Until it has been inspected and any repair is done, do not plug the trailer into shore power or energize the inverter, the owner letter says.
Grand Design filed the recall July 28 for 2 RVs, model year 2026. This one applies if yours was built March 26 to 30, 2026, with the cover in the off-door-side front passthrough panel fastened through its center holes. As filed, the receptacle cover went on through its two center holes instead of its four corner holes, so a screw can bear on the wiring behind it.
A dealer checks the screw positions, about 10 minutes. If they are in the center holes, the dealer takes off the trim panel, inspects the wiring, repairs any damage and fits a new cover through the corner holes, about 30 minutes more, free.

Propane quick disconnects: a gas leak and fire risk from propane quick disconnects that may be cracked.
Grand Design filed the recall Nov 15, 2024 for 30,435 RVs across the models it names. For the Imagine, it names 2022. This one applies if yours has an Enerco Flex-Tech propane quick disconnect, was covered by 22V308, is not a Canadian unit, and was built July 6, 2021 to April 21, 2022. As filed, the supplier traces this to porosity, contamination and carbon, flaws in the brass of certain Enerco Flex-Tech quick disconnects, which can crack and let gas out.
A dealer inspects each trailer to see if its quick disconnect is one of those recalled, and replaces an affected one with a different design, free. NHTSA’s summary says this recall supersedes 22V308.
Letters went out Dec 6, 2024.

Grand Design filed the recall May 26, 2021 for 55,508 RVs across the models it names. For the Imagine, it names 2016 to 2021. This one applies if yours has a Winn-Tec regulator and was built July 17, 2015 to December 17, 2020. As filed, a plasticizer from the propane hoses can break down a seal inside the Winn-Tec regulator, which sends too much pressure to the appliances.
A dealer replaces the regulator with another brand, up to an hour’s work, free. The letter says a Winn-Tec regulator put on in an earlier repair has to come off too.
Letters went out June 24, 2021.
The last count: 25,727 of 55,508 repaired, per Grand Design’s annual report to NHTSA filed Apr 16. Nothing newer is on file, and a 2026 count says nothing about whether yours was done.

Grand Design filed the recall Oct 4, 2017 for 3,621 RVs, model years 2017 and 2018. This one applies if yours was built January 9 to August 15, 2017. As filed, bell cap connectors at the air conditioning unit may have gone on wrong, so the wires can pull out and short.

Tire size label: a tire blowout or early tread wear, with loss of control and a crash risk, from a label that gives the wrong tire size and pressure.
Grand Design filed the recall Mar 7, 2023 for 139 RVs, model year 2023. This one applies if yours is an Imagine AIM with the Off-Road package’s ST235/75R15LRD tires, built November 7, 2022 to March 8, 2023. As filed, the federal label has the wrong tire size and pressure, so the trailer does not meet federal standard 110.
A dealer checks the label and puts on a corrected one, which gives ST235/75R15LRD at 65 psi in place of ST225/75R15LRE at 80, up to 15 minutes’ work, free.

Grand Design filed the recall Aug 9, 2022 for 8,150 RVs across the models it names. For the Imagine, it names 2022 and 2023. This one applies if yours has a Lippert Solera awning of up to 18 feet, made January 17 to June 14, 2022, on a trailer built February 7 to July 12, 2022. As filed, the weld between the fabric and its track may not have gone deep enough, so the seam can separate.
A dealer inspects the seam at the awning rail. Lippert’s instructions call for a repair if the separation is under 6 inches and new awning fabric if it is over, free.

What is on file for each model year, newest first. Tap a year to open it. A short entry only means little has been filed so far, so ask your maker to check your VIN. Complaints are owners’ own reports, not findings. A report can name more than one part. A service bulletin is a maker’s notice to repair shops, not a recall. A bulletin’s own text can cover less than the file’s row, so one listed under a year may not reach yours.

What NHTSA’s files hold on the 2025 Imagine, as read Nov 6. No recall on file for this model and year. That is one day’s read, not a verdict on your trailer: a recall can be filed on any model and year in any week, which is why this page updates every Sunday, and a parts maker’s own recall may not list RV models, so this record can miss one.
One thing to do: Make sure Grand Design has your name and address against your VIN, which gives a letter a chance of reaching you if one is mailed. The number on the newest Imagine recall is 1-574-825-9679; Bought it used has the rest.

What this page cannot tell you
Whether your trailer is in any of these. Build dates and parts can narrow a recall, so a model and year cannot settle it. Your maker can, from your VIN. NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t list most RV makers.
Anything filed after Tue Nov 3. When we read it on Nov 6, the recall file held nothing created after that day, so later filings, if any, come in a later update.
How one year compares with another. This page lists what has been filed. It does not rate a model year, and a year with less on it has simply had less filed.
Next date on your Imagine: Nov 19, the safety chains letters, expected.
Your Imagine, every Sunday
When anything new is filed for your year, it goes at the top of your Sunday email, with the question to ask before you hitch up. It takes four or five minutes to read, and it is free.
Recall letters go to the owner the maker has on file, and if you bought yours used, that may still be the last owner. Sunday’s email about your RV comes to the address you type here.
Most Sundays, nothing new is filed on any one model and year, and the email says so in one sentence. The rest of the email is your brand, the parts it shares with other brands, and the dates on your own recalls when they move.
[Blocker: the Kit form is not set, so this box sends nothing]
We keep your email address and this RV, and we never ask for your VIN. We send one email to confirm, and nothing more comes unless you tap the button in it. Privacy. Not an Imagine? Pick another.
This address stays the same and the page is updated every Sunday, so a link pinned in an owners’ group stays good.
Corrections to this page: none as of Nov 6, 2026. A correction goes here and at the top of the item it fixes, with its date.
