Grand Design recall: Steps may open unexpectedly

Grand Design RV is recalling certain 2025-2026 Lineage Class C motorhomes. The entry door position switch may have been improperly installed, which can lead to intermittent or unreliable contact.

As a result, the position of the door may be misinterpreted by the RV, potentially causing the entry steps to deploy unintentionally and without warning while the vehicle is in motion.

Steps extending while in transit increase the risk of a crash. This is not good, of course, and can result in injury or damage to the vehicle and, more importantly, people.

There is little to no warning to the driver that this condition has occurred.

As many as 1,127 motorhomes may be affected by the recall, which was issued March 20.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the door position switch, free of charge. The remedy will involve the dealer disabling the mechanical plunger style switch and installing a magnet switch, which should take less than one hour.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 11. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design’s number for this recall is M910058.

Thank you for this news, RV Travel. Hmm, … first there was the problem with their 5th wheel frames, then the company decides to diversify into drivables, and … hmm … already issues a recall on the drivable. Sometimes companies can become over-extended. Is this an example? Maybe too early to know, but this isn’t a promising development. Have a great day and safe travels.

Let’s take something that has worked well manually for decade upon decade and add electricity, motors, switches and chips and call it progress.
