Every recall, newest first
In plain terms: Grand Design RV has filed 56 RV recalls since 2016. 7 of the 87 RV makers on file have filed more. A company that builds more RVs files more recalls, and no one publishes how many RVs each company builds. So this shows what Grand Design RV has recalled. It cannot show whether its RVs are more likely to be recalled than anyone else’s.

Informational only, not professional advice. A recall count is not a safety rating, and this page does not tell you whether a particular RV has an open recall.

Methodology
Source. NHTSA Recalls Data on the U.S. Department of Transportation open-data portal, pulled September 19, 2026. This page lists every vehicle recall received by NHTSA from January 1, 2016 onward and filed under “Grand Design RV, LLC”. The rules that decide which filers and campaigns count as RV are printed in full on the recalls by manufacturer page.
Risk named. Tagged from NHTSA’s consequence summary, the sentence describing what could happen if the defect is not fixed. A recall can carry more than one tag, or none. “Do not drive” and “Park outside” are NHTSA’s own flags.
RVs. NHTSA’s “potentially affected” figure: the maker’s own estimate of how many units could have the defect. An RV covered by two recalls is counted in both.
Repaired. NHTSA’s completion rate: the share of the recalled RVs the maker has reported as remedied. Makers report it for a limited period after a recall opens, so a recent recall shows a low figure and an old one stops updating. A dash means none has been reported.
What this page cannot tell you
- Not adjusted for sales. No public source reports how many RVs each maker builds, so recalls per RV built cannot be calculated.
- The filer, not the badge. NHTSA records the company that filed. Brands owned by this company may be in this list, and its own brands may be filed under a parent company instead.
- Chassis and appliance recalls are missing. A recall on a motorhome’s Ford or Freightliner chassis is filed by the chassis maker, and a recall on a refrigerator, furnace or axle usually by its supplier. Neither appears here, even though the RV’s owner is affected.
- A snapshot, not a live feed. NHTSA adds RV recalls most weeks. Complaint figures come from the NHTSA consumer complaints flat files, pulled September 19, 2026.

What is the biggest Grand Design RV recall?
By RVs covered, it is NHTSA campaign 21V393000 (LP Gas Pressure Regulator May Fail), received May 26, 2021. Grand Design RV, LLC estimated that 55,508 RVs could have the defect.
Have any Grand Design RV recalls involved a fire risk?
Yes. In 25 of its 56 recalls, NHTSA's description of what could go wrong mentions a fire. 22 mention a crash or loss of control, and 14 mention injury, death, carbon monoxide or electric shock. One recall can mention more than one.
How do I check whether my Grand Design RV RV has an open recall?
Give your 17-character VIN to Grand Design RV, LLC or one of its dealers and ask them to check it against their recall records. That is the only check that settles whether a recall applies to your RV and whether the repair has been done. NHTSA's VIN search at nhtsa.gov/recalls covers certain manufacturers only and says it leaves out small and specialty vehicle makers, so "0 unrepaired recalls" there is not proof for an RV. This page lists the recalls the maker filed, not which individual RVs were fixed. Recall repairs are normally free.
