Suspension · reported Sep 30, 2026
My fifth-wheel trailer is subject to NHTSA Safety Recall 26V-044 involving the axle U-bolts and leaf-spring attachment system. The recall repair was performed by an authorized Grand Design dealer. After the recall-related condition/repair, I discovered a broken bolt in the rear suspension/shackle-hanger area and abnormal/uneven tire wear. I returned the trailer to the authorized dealer because of concern these conditions were related to the recalled suspension system. The dealer inspected the trailer and documented that all six leaf springs are sagging and losing normal curvature, along with…

In 2023 we purchased this RV. Recently, we discovered that the cargo carrying capacity is incorrect by about 900 pounds, subject to Recall 23V-428. Grand Design knew of this defect before the rig was sold; however, they didn’t remove the vehicle from the dealers lot, nor were we ever contacted by Grand Design. Grand Design knew of the issue in June 2023, and we purchased our rig in July 2023. We also have had the rig in for repairs for broken leaf spring supports and now they’ve done some welding on our frame because of frame flex issues.
