Step treads: a tread that may break while in use, a fall and injury risk.

Grand Design filed the recall Feb 7, 2025 for 21,982 RVs, model years 2019 to 2024. This one applies if yours has laminated hardwood step treads and was built June 1, 2018 to August 16, 2023. As filed, the treads are laminated hardwood, and a joint that lines up with the riser may have no support under it.

A dealer reinforces each tread with a metal bracket under its free edge, up to an hour’s work, free.

Letters went out May 1, 2025.

(18.70%), per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA for Q3 2026.

In the record: Grand Design 910048, NHTSA 25V061000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

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 Solitude, 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.

(19.10%), per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA for Q3 2026.

In the record: Grand Design 910045, NHTSA 24V861000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

Wheel studs: a wheel that could come off if its hub studs break, a crash with a risk of injury or death.

Avoid long trips until the trailer has been inspected or repaired, and book the dealer right away, the owner letter says.

Grand Design filed the recall Apr 10, 2015 for 148 RVs across the models it names. For the Solitude, it names 2016. This one applies if yours is a Reflection 303RLS, 308BHTS or 313RLTS, or a 2016 Solitude 375RE, built March 12 to April 6, 2015, on Lippert 5,200 lb axles with Tru-Ryde hubs. As filed, the studs in the axle hubs may shear or break while the trailer is towed.

A Grand Design dealer replaces the axle hub assembly with a new one from Lippert, up to 2 hours’ work, free.

Letters went out Apr 14, 2015.

The last count: 86 of 148 repaired, per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA filed July 12, 2017. Nothing newer is on file, and a 2017 count says nothing about whether yours was done.

In the record: Grand Design 910003, NHTSA 15V212000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

Microwave: a fire risk if anything is left inside a microwave that may start on its own while nobody is there.

Keep the microwave empty until it is inspected and repaired, the owner letter says.

Grand Design filed the recall Apr 22, 2014 for 28 RVs, model year 2014. This one applies if yours is a Solitude 369RL or 305RE built February 21 to July 24, 2013, with a Frigidaire KG-series microwave, model CFMV152CLB or CFMV154CLS, serial KG30607951 to KG31600670. As filed, certain Frigidaire convection microwaves may turn on and heat unattended, and the filing gives no cause beyond that.

Grand Design’s letter says it calls to find where the RV is, then Electrolux/Frigidaire arranges its own repair representative to inspect and repair the microwave in about 30 minutes, free. If no call comes within two or three days of the notice, the letter says to call Grand Design.

Letters went out May 12, 2014.

The last count: 25 of 28 repaired, per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA filed Apr 7, 2017. Nothing newer is on file, and a 2017 count says nothing about whether yours was done.

In the record: Grand Design 910001, NHTSA 14V214000, phone 1-574-825-8000.

Refrigerator cooling unit: a propane leak and fire risk from a refrigerator cooling unit that can move on loose or missing fasteners.

Grand Design filed the recall May 29, 2024 for 39 RVs, model year 2023. This one applies if yours is a Solitude 310GK or 345GK with a Norcold 2118SST refrigerator from one shipment, built June 6 to 13, 2022. As filed, with fasteners loose or gone the Norcold cooling unit has room to move, and that may crack the propane line.

A dealer inspects the cooling unit for loose or missing fasteners and repairs or replaces the refrigerator as needed, about 5 hours’ work, free. A later Grand Design recall says it widens this one.

Letters went out June 12, 2024.

The last count: 22 of 39 repaired, per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA filed Apr 16. Nothing newer is on file, and a 2026 count says nothing about whether yours was done.

In the record: Grand Design 910043, NHTSA 24V378000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

Axle U-bolts: loss of control and a crash risk if an axle moves out of position on U-bolts that may be over-tightened.

Grand Design filed the recall Mar 12, 2024 for 1,469 RVs across the models it names. For the Solitude, it names 2024. This one applies if yours has CURT 7,000 or 8,000 lb axles and was built July 10 to November 2, 2023. As filed, production may have over-tightened the U-bolts that hold the axle, which can stretch them and let the spring pack and axle shift.

A dealer replaces the U-bolts and tie plates, plus any other damaged suspension parts, about 3 hours’ work, free. A later Grand Design recall says it replaces this one, and owners already repaired here still need that one.

Letters went out Mar 25, 2024.

The last count: 1,141 of 1,469 repaired, per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA filed Jan 21. Nothing newer is on file, and a 2026 count says nothing about whether yours was done.

In the record: Grand Design 910042, NHTSA 24V193000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

Axle U-bolts: an axle that can shift out of position while you tow, with loss of control, a crash and injury risk.

Grand Design filed the recall July 17, 2023 for 6,270 RVs across the models it names. For the Solitude, it names 2021 to 2024. This one applies if yours has CURT by Lippert 7,000 or 8,000 lb axles and was built February 12, 2021 to June 22, 2023. As filed, Lippert’s U-bolt torque figure did not give enough clamp load, so the leaf spring can fail under normal road loads and let the axle slip.

A dealer checks the U-bolts, tightens them to the set torque and replaces anything damaged, about an hour’s work, free. A later Grand Design recall says it replaces this one, and owners already repaired here still need that one.

Letters went out Aug 16, 2023.

per Grand Design’s annual report to NHTSA, filed July 22.

In the record: Grand Design 910039, NHTSA 23V490000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

Electric awning: an awning that may drop past its normal travel when a fabric seam lets go, an injury risk, and an accident risk if the frame detaches while moving.

Grand Design filed the recall Aug 9, 2022 for 8,150 RVs across the models it names. For the Solitude, 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.

Letters went out Aug 22, 2022.

per Grand Design’s annual report to NHTSA, filed July 15.

In the record: Grand Design 910031, NHTSA 22V603000, phone 1-574-825-9679.

Propane quick disconnects: a gas leak from quick disconnect fittings that may be cracked, a fire risk near an ignition source.

Grand Design filed the recall May 6, 2022 for 34,021 RVs across the models it names. For the Solitude, it names 2022. This one applies if yours has an Enerco Flex-Tech propane quick disconnect and was built July 6, 2021 to April 21, 2022. As filed, the brass housing on Enerco Flex-Tech quick disconnects may crack when tightened to the vendor’s torque, and the report says no root cause had been identified.

Grand Design’s newest report says a dealer replaces every suspect fitting with a new design from another maker, free. Its earlier letter says inspect, leak test and replace only what is cracked or leaking, up to an hour’s work. A later Grand Design recall says it replaces this one.

Grand Design filed the recall Jan 28, 2022 for 43,421 RVs across the models it names. For the Solitude, it names 2013 to 2021. This one applies if yours has a gas absorption refrigerator, with the 110-volt wire running through the refrigerator cavity, and was built January 1, 2013 to June 3, 2021. As filed, road vibration can work the wire off its retainer over time, and heat from the cooling unit can then melt through the insulation.

A dealer takes off the lower vent cover, inspects the wiring and replaces anything damaged. Damaged or not, the wire then gets extra fastening to the outside wall with screw-mount cable ties, up to 2.5 hours’ work, free.

Letters went out Feb 21, 2022.

Refrigerator propane line: a propane leak and fire risk in the refrigerator’s outside compartment, where the supply line may touch the burner tube.

Grand Design filed the recall Aug 28, 2020 for 8,161 RVs, model years 2017 to 2021. This one applies if yours was built August 18, 2016 to July 30, 2020, with the propane line routed close to the refrigerator’s burner tube. As filed, a single clamp may not hold the rubber propane line clear of the burner tube, and contact can damage it.

A dealer takes off the lower vent cover, inspects the line and replaces it if damaged. New or old, the line then gets wrapped in a foil heat barrier and held clear of the burner tube with added clamps, free.

Letters went out Sep 17, 2020.

Outside kitchen gas line: a propane leak and fire risk, from a gas line that may touch the hot grill in the pull-out kitchen.

Grand Design filed the recall June 14, 2018 for 200 RVs, model years 2018 and 2019. This one applies if yours has the optional pull-out outside kitchen and was built October 26, 2017 to May 25, 2018. As filed, too few attachment points let the line coil under the grill, where it can touch the hot underside and take heat damage.

A dealer re-routes the line behind the grill housing and adds clamps so it cannot coil, free. The repair instructions add a new line if the old one has heat damage, and the report says anyone who already paid gets reimbursed.

Letters went out July 10, 2018.

This one applies if yours is any Momentum toy hauler, or a Solitude 379FL, 365DEN or 366DEN, built July 8, 2014 to August 31, 2015, with a Christianson folding ladder. As filed, the welded top hat on each retractable hinge can come apart from the hinge, and the supplier told Grand Design the welds are the cause.

A dealer adds a bracket at each hinge so the top hat stays put if the welds let go, free. Anyone who already paid for this repair gets reimbursed, the report says.

Letters went out Dec 16, 2016.

The last count: 901 of 1,975 repaired, per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA filed Apr 9, 2018. Nothing newer is on file, and a 2018 count says nothing about whether yours was done.
