Grand Design Lineage Recalls, service bulletins and owner complaints, by model year
Independent tracker, not affiliated with Grand Design or NHTSA. Built from NHTSA’s public files, checked Nov 6, 2026. Updates on Sundays.
A tank heating pad that may fail, a fire and injury risk, on 2026: among 11 recalls on file, plus three owner reports. That one carries a stop instruction.
RV Bulletin is a Sunday email for RV owners. This page is open to anyone: no signup, no call, no payment, no VIN.
Not an official recall notice. Your maker mails that letter. NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t list most RV makers, so ask your maker to check your VIN.
11 recalls filed for the Lineage, 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.
Tank heating pad: a fire risk, with possible injury and property damage, from a water tank heating pad with terminals that may be poorly attached.
NHTSA’s file lists this recall under the 2026 Lineage. Its summary, Grand Design’s newest report and the owner letter name the 2026 Solitude, so we print it under both.
NHTSA’s file and Grand Design’s report mark this do not drive and park outside. Stop using the tank heater pads until the repair is done, the owner letter says.
Grand Design filed the recall Jan 30 for 109 RVs across the models it names. For the Lineage, it names 2026. This one applies if yours has a ThermaHeat tank pad and was built December 9, 2025 to January 14, 2026; the first report gave the Lineage January 9 to 27, 2026. As filed, the ThermaHeat pad’s electrical terminals may be poorly attached, which can make a high-resistance connection.
A dealer checks for ThermaHeat pads and replaces any with a pad of a different brand, up to 5 hours’ work, free.
Letters went out Mar 4.

Tire pressure label: tire damage or failure and a crash risk, from a label that gives the wrong cold inflation pressure.
Grand Design’s reports say it asked owners to hold a reduced top speed during its evaluation, with no figure on file. The newest report says Goodyear confirmed the tires have the speed capability when run within load and inflation guidelines, and it names no limit.
Grand Design filed the recall Sep 14 for 42 RVs, model years 2026 and 2027. This one applies if yours has the optional Lineage 43 tire package and was built December 2, 2025 to September 4, 2026. As filed, the tire information labels can carry the wrong cold pressure for the rear tires after a change to the label data, which puts the coach outside federal standard 120.
Grand Design mails owners new tire and certification labels, which its report says carry 95 psi, with information on tire inflation, and you put them on yourself, free. If you cannot, a Grand Design dealer can install them.
Letters were expected Nov 2, and the file does not say they went out.
We have no count of repairs for this one.
In the record: Grand Design M910067, NHTSA 26V595000, phone 1-574-825-9679.
Tire pressure label: an overinflated rear tire that can fail, with loss of control and a crash risk, if you go by a label that lists the wrong rear pressure.
Do not put more than 80 psi, measured cold, in the rear tires, the maximum marked on the sidewall, and disregard the label’s 100 psi rear value until the corrected label is on, the owner letter says.
Grand Design filed the recall July 28 for 10 RVs, model years 2026 and 2027. This one applies if yours is a Lineage 31ZW5 with the optional LT295/65R20 tires on 20-inch wheels, built December 9, 2025 to May 15, 2026 per the letter; the report’s dates are narrower. As filed, the tire information label lists a rear pressure above the tires’ maximum, which puts the motorhome outside federal standard 120.
A dealer removes the label and puts on a corrected one showing 80 psi cold for the rear tires, up to 20 minutes’ work, free.
Letters went out Sep 17.

This one applies if yours has an Airxcel MaxxAir roof fan with the suspect circuit board and was built January 13 to June 26, 2026. As filed, parts on the fan’s circuit board cannot handle the current in some operations, so they fail and build heat.
A dealer inspects the fan, about 20 minutes, and replaces the control board if it is in the affected range, about 30 minutes more, free.
Letters went out July 21.

If you suspect a loose solar panel, call Grand Design or its dealer before you drive again, the owner letter says.
Grand Design filed the recall Apr 30 for 1,269 RVs, model years 2025 and 2026. This one applies if yours has solar panels held on with the incompatible epoxy adhesive and was built May 6, 2024 to April 8, 2026. As filed, the epoxy holding the panels may not be compatible with the roof and panel materials, so a panel can partly or fully detach.

Door position switch: a crash risk from entry steps that may extend while you drive, with little or no warning.
Grand Design filed the recall Mar 20 for 1,127 RVs, model years 2025 and 2026. This one applies if yours has the plunger-style door switch, not the magnet style, and was built June 6, 2024 to January 8, 2026. As filed, the door position switch may be installed so its contact is unreliable, which can misread the door and let the steps deploy.
A dealer moves the plunger switch over to the door frame’s hinge side and adds a specially made plate for it to touch, up to an hour’s work, 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.
2027 Lineage
Three recalls on file, three with an owner instruction, two of them to stop.
A wrong tire pressure label, a tire failure and crash risk. Grand Design’s reports say it asked owners to hold a reduced top speed during its evaluation, with no figure on file. The newest report says Goodyear confirmed the tires have the speed capability when run within load and inflation guidelines, and it names no limit.
A wrong rear tire pressure label, a tire failure and crash risk. Do not put more than 80 psi, measured cold, in the rear tires, the maximum marked on the sidewall, and disregard the label’s 100 psi rear value until the corrected label is on, the owner letter says.

What else we looked for
As read Nov 6, the file holds no NHTSA investigation for the Lineage.
NHTSA investigation PE24029, open since Oct 9, 2024, is filed under 2017 to 2023 Momentum and Solitude. Not the Lineage, so not yours.
We don’t know what yours is built on, so recalls from the chassis maker are not on this page. On a Ford or Freightliner chassis your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls can show them.
What this page cannot tell you
Whether your motorhome 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 repair count on your Lineage: by Jan 31, 2027.
Your Lineage, 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 drive in. 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 a Lineage? 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.
