SUSPENSION

Potential Consequences:

For the safety of others I would like to report a potential issue with 2023 Grand Design Momentum 5th wheel trailer where the wheel will separate from the axle. This happened recently on September 15th @ 1:30pm while heading west bound on 1-80 just east of Sidney, NE. We heard a clunk, thinking it was a blowout I checked the rear view mirror only see the tire (drivers side rear) rolling away from the vehicle. We immediately pulled over to the side of the interstate and further inspection found the disc rotor hub/spindle missing from the ale. My understanding is this can only occur if the castle nut that holds the hub on the axle is missing. Further, the castle nut is locked in place by a cotter pin. Both the castle nut and cotter pin were missing. I found some parts remnants by the side of the road. (disc brake pad, broken rotor, brake caliper piston) While investigating the issue further in an attempt to understand what happened, I ran across a recall for a very similar issue NHTSA 23V-455 Curt Axle Grease Zerk.

STRUCTURE

Potential Consequences:

I was made aware of Grand Design’s Technical Service Bulletin 24-001 concerning issues with undersized and/or missing lag screws possibly be on some models of their fifth wheel campers. I was able to determine that our Momentum 381MS had the undersized 3/8” lag screws used in the construction of our camper. I made an appointment with Campers Inn in Jeffersonville, IN and took it in. I was notified by them on 8-5-24 that there were also 4 missing lag screws. They also told me there were broken welds on the frame. I went there on 8-6-24 and took pictures of the frame and a lag screws. In addition to this, on the only trip we have made with the camper we had issues of both walk through entrance doors coming open while traveling. The entrance door into the garage door came open twice and the door into the main area came open once. I was made aware of this by other motorists.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

Upon returning from a most recent trip we started to notice significant floor noise, moving interior cabinetry, and a cracked front cap on our 2023 Grand Design Momentum 395MS-R. We were instructed by Grand Design to take our unit to our dealer for inspection and servicing. During the time at the dealer, an SRT from Grand Design was on site and was actually the one to perform the inspection and supposed repairs. The only work done was a few sets of measurements, which Grand Design originally provided conflicting information on and the addition of larger lag bolts in a certain easily accessible area of our unit. There is a documented TSB 24-001 that has been dispersed for owners and the exact process detailed in this TSB was not in any way followed by the SRT during the inspection and remedy of our unit. This is the exact response we are receiving when questioning this specific part, "SRT didn’t feel he needed to tear the whole front apart because measurements were within tolerance. He mentioned that it really wasn’t necessary to compromise the seal on the front filon." According to the SRT, the measurements are in spec, however we have not been able to obtain the actual official measurements from the SRT on the TSB. We fear at this point our unit is compromised and being covered up by the manufacturer. This issue is known and has been expressed by many. Countless models are in the dealer warranty centers being worked on for the identical issues where a shortcut or mistake was made in the manufacturing process leaving hundreds if not thousands of consumers with units they are questioning to be road worthy. We deserve better handling of the issues and honestly a nationwide recall of all units falling within the model and year range. I would like to have my specific case addressed and escalated along with a better answer from the company to consumers on how exactly this is going to be handled and resolved. These units can not be deemed road worthy!!!! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFOR

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

We have a brand new 2023 Grand Design Momentum 5th wheel. Had her for 9 months. Taken only 2 trips thus far. I have a structural stress fractures on the corner of my closet slide (approx 4”), caulking around the front cap has been pulled away, both sides of our bedroom upper cabinets have about 3” cracks on the bottom along the wall from frame flex / failure. It’s difficult to close our main door. Often times it requires us to slam once or twice to get the door to close. All this is due to frame flex. I have spoken to Grand Design and they are sending a mobile SRT tech to my trailer to inspect and provide immediate repairs and deem the trailer safe to travel so I can take trailer to an authorized Grand Design dealer in New Orleans to fix our trailer.
