What this recall means for you
The touch pad on the power tongue jack, a Smart-Jack model, can crack or separate, letting water get inside. This may cause the jack to extend or retract on its own without the operator intending it.
If the tongue jack moves unexpectedly, the trailer could shift or drop during use, raising the risk of a crash or injury. Owners should take this seriously and stop using the power jack's touch pad until the repair is done.
The repair is free: the dealer will replace the power tongue jack at no charge. Owners will be notified by Grand Design, or can call Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. You can also check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is affected.
