Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Momentum and Solitude fifth wheel trailers, equipped with certain CURT 7000 and 8000 pound axles. The U-bolts may have been improperly tightened, which could cause the axle to move out of position.

Dealers will inspect and tighten the U-bolts as necessary. Any damaged components will be replaced. Repairs will be performed free of charge.
