Defect and consequence
Defect: Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain model year 2016 Momentum trailers, models 397th, 398M, and 388M, manufactured September 2, 2015, to November 12, 2015. The affected trailers may be equipped with a Federal Certification Label that lists an incorrect unloaded vehicle weight (UVW), causing the cargo carrying capacity (CCC) to be overstated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification.".
Why it matters: If the operator loads vehicle per the information on the label, the vehicle may exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Grand Design will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2016. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design's number for this recall is 910005.
