Which Grand Design Momentum years should you avoid?

No Grand Design Momentum model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Grand Design Momentum year has 19 complaints on file. The busiest year is the 2021 (56).

What are the best Grand Design Momentum years?

The Grand Design Momentum years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2016 (10), 2017 (13) and 2019 (14). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
