What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle bearings) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Grand Design RV, LLC is recalling certain 2019 Grand Design Reflection, Imagine, and Transcend travel trailers. The recall involves 997 vehicles where the rear axle hubs may be missing inner bearings.
