NHTSA Recall No. 22V-308. Defective quick disconnect fitting on LP gas system. Pursuant to the recall notice, on [XXX], I took my 2022 Grand Design Reflection 226RK into the dealership where purchased, Lazy Days in Woodland, WA. The quick disconnect fitting was inspected and determined to be okay ("No problem found."). On [XXX], while vacationing with family in the 5th Wheel in Newport, OR, I detected the odor of propane outside the RV. I found the leak at the quick disconnect fitting that had split (photos available). I removed the defective fitting and replaced it with a new one purchased at an Ace Hardware in Newport, OR. It is also important to note that we had never used the quick disconnect fitting. This defective fitting is located directly beneath the water heater and furnace, so yes, my family and I were at extreme risk had the leaking propane found its way into the water heater or furnace. I shudder to think how many of these defective quick disconnect fittings are still in thousands of Grand Design RV's across the Country. These defective fittings should have been recalled and replaced by Grand Design. Thank you.

After removing the factory installed refrigerator to install a warranty replacement unit, I discovered that the aluminum housing of the refrigerator was coming in contact with two 120v electrical outlets and the corresponding wiring. Excess movement of the refrigerator while towing caused chafing of the wiring and resulted in one of the punch down type electrical outlets breaking. The side of the refrigerator also suffered significant damage, clearly demonstrating the potential for a short circuit event. The broken outlet also has the potential for electrocution while plugging/unplugging the RV’s microwave. I did create a YouTube video and shared the link with Grand Design. I also shared the video on Grand Design’s owner forum and have been contacted by other owners who have encountered the same issue.

Awning has started to detach from roller. There is a recall on the awning but Grand Design says my trailer doesn't fall within the recall date. Obviously the issue started before the dates they listed and the recall should be extended.
