Nine recalls filed for the Transcend, 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.
Tire information label: a crash risk from wrong size replacement tires or underinflated tires, if you go by a label that may be wrong.
Grand Design filed the recall Oct 9 for 53 RVs, model year 2027. This one applies if yours is a Transcend Xplor with substituted tires whose labels do not match them, built June 22 to August 4, 2026. As filed, substitute tires went on in production and the label data was not updated, so the labels can give the wrong size or cold pressure, which leaves the trailer outside federal standard 110.
Grand Design mails corrected labels and instructions, and you put them on and send photos of them with your VIN. If you cannot do it, a Grand Design dealer does. The labels are free.
Letters are expected Nov 19.
We have no count of repairs for this one.
In the record: Grand Design 910070, NHTSA 26V668000, 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 Transcend, 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.

In the record: Grand Design 910045, NHTSA 24V861000, phone 1-574-825-9679.
Propane regulator: bigger appliance flames and a fire risk if the propane regulator fails and lets gas pressure climb.
Do not use the propane system if you smell strong propane, an appliance hisses loudly or a burner flame looks larger than normal, the owner letter says.
Grand Design filed the recall May 26, 2021 for 55,508 RVs across the models it names. For the Transcend, 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.
In the record: Grand Design 910023, NHTSA 21V393000, phone 1-574-825-9679.
Emergency exit window: no emergency exit window in the living area, an injury risk.2023, 23V364000
Emergency exit window: an injury risk from a main living area built with no emergency exit window, which could block or slow your way out.
Grand Design filed the recall May 24, 2023 for 232 RVs, model year 2023. This one applies if yours is a Transcend 235BH built June 16 to November 30, 2022. As filed, the new floorplan’s parts list had no emergency exit window for that room, so a standard sliding window went in.
A dealer replaces the standard window with an emergency exit window, up to an hour’s work, free.
Letters went out June 12, 2023.

Electric awning: an awning that may drop or detach, injury and accident risks.2022 and 2023, 22V603000
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 Transcend, 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.

Propane quick disconnects: cracked propane quick disconnects that may leak, a fire risk.2022, 22V308000
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 Transcend, 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.
Letters went out May 30, 2022.

Shore power inlet: a loose connection at the 50-amp inlet, an arc and fire risk.2022, 22V203000
Shore power inlet: an electrical arc or short at the 50-amp shore power inlet, a fire risk.
Grand Design filed the recall Mar 29, 2022 for 198 RVs across the models it names. For the Transcend, it names 2022. This one applies if yours has an Epicord 50-amp inlet and is a Reflection 260RD, 268BH, 295RL, 298BH or 315RLTS, or a Transcend 297QB, built February 11 to 21, 2022. As filed, the inlet’s lug bolts may be made of metal so hard they cannot be tightened properly, which leaves the wiring loose.
The letter says a dealer replaces the 50-amp inlet, up to 30 minutes’ work, free. Grand Design’s earlier report says it is inspected first and replaced if found bad.
Letters went out Apr 25, 2022.

Cook stove valve: a possible gas leak under the cook stove’s burners, a fire risk.
Grand Design filed the recall Dec 8, 2020 for 352 RVs, model year 2020. This one applies if yours has the Dometic 3-burner cooktop or range, model R1731, and was built December 5, 2019 to January 13, 2020. As filed, Dometic says the leak would be at the joint where the burners’ saddle valve meets the manifold, from field adjustment or an over-tightened bolt.
A dealer installs Dometic’s kit of gaskets, washers, orange labels and thread locker bolts, under an hour’s work, free.
Letters went out Feb 5, 2021.

Axle hubs: a wheel hub that can fail, crash, injury and fire risks.2019, 18V658000

Grand Design filed the recall Sep 24, 2018 for 997 RVs across the models it names. For the Transcend, it names 2019. This one applies if yours has Dexter 4,400 lb axles and was built June 25 to August 14, 2018. As filed, the inner bearing cup, also called the race, may be missing, so the bearing can fail early.
A dealer inspects the gap between each hub and its backing plate, up to 30 minutes’ work. If a gap is short of the required minimum, that axle is replaced. All of it is free.
Letters went out Oct 22, 2018.

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 Transcend, 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 Transcend recall is 1-574-825-9679; Bought it used has the rest.
An owner reported a problem filed under the electrical system and a part the file does not name (complaint 11671270, July 4, 2025): no fire, crash, injury or death flag. One owner’s report, not a finding. Has yours done this?

What else we looked for
As read Nov 6, the file holds no NHTSA investigation for the Transcend.
NHTSA investigation PE24029, open since Oct 9, 2024, is filed under 2017 to 2023 Momentum and Solitude. Not the Transcend, so not yours.
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 Transcend: Nov 19, the tire information label letters, expected.
Your Transcend, 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 a Transcend? 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.
