NHTSA recall 16V717000
Equipment · Grand Design RV, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have an incorrect gross axle weight rating (gawr) on the federal certification label, stating a gawr of 7,000 lbs when the actual gawr is 6,400 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: If the operator loads the vehicle to the gawr on the label, it can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Grand design will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected federal certification label, free of charge. Owners will also have the option to replace the certification label themselves, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2016.
