What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 Grand Design Momentum trailers (models 397th, 398M and 388M, built September 2 to November 12, 2015) may have a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect unloaded vehicle weight. This makes the cargo carrying capacity appear higher than it really is.
If the trailer is loaded according to the label, it may exceed its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). An overloaded trailer raises the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Grand Design will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a corrected label at no charge. You can contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679 (recall number 910005). You can also check your trailer's VIN for open recalls.
