- The defect
- Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain 2016-2021 Imagine, Transcend, and Momentum travel trailers. The LP regulator that controls the LP gas pressure may fail, allowing excessive gas pressure that causes the appliance flame to increase.
- What it can cause
- Excessive gas pressure and a larger than intended appliance flame can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the LP regulator, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 24, 2021. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design's number for this recall is 910023.
- 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 55,508 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% 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 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Grand Design vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 12 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V757000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 10 of the 18 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 170 complaints with NHTSA, 24 of them before this campaign was filed. 13 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2016, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V044000 (suspension), 23V490000 (suspension), 22V039000 (structure), 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 May 26, 2021 as campaign 21V393000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
