Fifth wheel refrigerator fasteners can loosen and crack propane line

Grand Design is recalling certain 2023 Solitude fifth wheels because loose or missing fasteners on the refrigerator cooling unit can allow movement that cracks the propane line.

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: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: a cracked propane line presents a fire hazard in an appliance rather than a safety-critical vehicle system, and no incidents are recorded.
