What this recall means for you
Certain 2015-2017 Grand Design Reflection recreational trailers have a Federal Certification Label that lists a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 7,000 lbs, but the actual GAWR is 6,400 lbs. The trailers were built between November 12, 2014 and September 22, 2016, and the affected models are 357BHS and 367BHS.
If the trailer is loaded up to the weight shown on the label, the axles can be overloaded beyond their true rating. This can cause a loss of vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash.
Grand Design will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a corrected Federal Certification Label at no charge. Owners may also choose to replace the label themselves for free. The recall began October 28, 2016. Contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679 (recall number 910007), and check your VIN for open recalls.
