Grand Design Reflection Recall 15V212: Wheel Studs Can Break, Risking Wheel Detachment

NHTSA campaign 15V212, reported April 10, 2015, 148 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2015-2016 Grand Design Reflection trailers and 2016 Grand Design Solitude trailers, built between March 12 and April 6, 2015, may have wheel studs that break. The studs attach the wheels to the axle hubs, so a failure can allow a wheel to come off the trailer while it is in use.

If a wheel detaches, the risk of a crash increases. Owners should take this recall seriously and check whether their trailer is affected.

Dealers will replace any affected wheel hub free of charge. You can contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679, referencing recall 910003. You can also check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is included.
