ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Reflection trailers. A wiring connector in the vehicle underbody may not be properly secured, allowing water intrusion into the wiring connector, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit.
- What it can cause
- If water enters the wiring connector, it can cause a short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Grand Design will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and secure the wiring connectors up to prevent water intrusion, free of charge. This recall began June 29, 2020. Owners may contact Grand Design's customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design's number for this recall is 910020.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 22,797 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Grand Design vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in October 2018 as 18V764000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 55 complaints with NHTSA, 43 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2015, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V038000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Grand Design RV, LLC with NHTSA on June 19, 2020 as campaign 20V362000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
