Tires:markings 2023-03-07 · campaign 23V151000 · 139 vehicles
Defect: Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain 2023 Imagine AIM travel trailers. The Federal Certification Label incorrectly states the tire size and inflation pressure requirement.

Risk: Incorrect tire size and inflation requirements may cause premature tread wear or a tire blow out, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new corrected label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 24, 2023. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design's number for this recall is 910033.

Defect: Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Momentum, Solitude, Imagine, Reflection, and Transcend travel trailers. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.
Risk: An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and repair, or replace the awning, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed by August 22, 2022. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design's number for this recall is 910031.
