- Excessive gas pressure and a larger than intended appliance flame can increase the risk of a fire.

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:REFRIGERATOR
NHTSA 22V038000- The defect
- Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain 2013-2021 Momentum, Solitude, and Reflection recreational vehicles. A 110-volt wire in the refrigerator cabinet may be improperly secured, which could result in the wire contacting the refrigerator cooling unit, causing an electrical arc.
- The risk

- The fix

EQUIPMENT
NHTSA 16V841000- The defect
- Grand Design RV (Grand Design) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Momentum toy haulers and Solitude recreational trailers manufactured July 8, 2014, to August 31, 2015, equipped with certain aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries. These ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
- The risk
- If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix

NHTSA 15V822000- The defect

The affected trailers may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect unloaded vehicle weight (UVW), causing the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) to be overstated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- The risk

Checking your own RV
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2016 Grand Design Momentum built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, on a plate near the entry door, inside a cabinet, or on the trailer tongue for a towable, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the RV is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
