Grand Design is recalling 2016 Momentum trailers because incorrect weight labels may cause owners to overload the vehicle, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Grand Design RV, LLC is recalling certain model year 2016 Momentum trailers, specifically models 397th, 398M, and 388M, manufactured between September 2, 2015, and November 12, 2015. The recall involves 32 affected units.

The affected trailers may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect unloaded vehicle weight (UVW). This error causes the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) to be overstated, meaning the vehicle fails to comply with federal certification requirements. If an operator loads the vehicle according to the incorrect information on the label, the vehicle may exceed its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Grand Design will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected label free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2016. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
