NHTSA campaign 23V490, reported July 17, 2023, 6,270 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

An axle that moves out of position can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and tighten the U-bolts as necessary, and replace any damaged components. The repair is free of charge. Owners can contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679 (recall number 910039). Owner notification letters were mailed August 16, 2023. Check your VIN for open recalls.
