Reflection folding dinette chairs

Will Grand Design be recalling all the faulty folding Chairs for the dinettes in the reflections? Our 303rls was purchased in January of 2017 and we are down to one dinette chair. The screws in the legs of the stationary chairs are causing the wood of the legs to crack and split. And the folding chairs just fall apart . Had two guests fall to the floor from the folding chairs. Have noticed that the 2018's no longer have the folding chairs. will you be replacing our faulty chairs also?

We haven't tried ours out yet, but will be after reading about the problem. We like the idea of the folding chairs, and travel with them under the bed to be used if needed.

We couldn't get both folding chairs under the bed. That's how I broke one of them, forcing it into the space. My husband also said the screws were too short, causing the wood to split.

He fixed it.

I found a loose bolt on the floor and couldn't figure out where it had come from until my wife mentioned that one of the chairs seemed wobbly. When I checked I found that it was one of the pivot bolts and the other was loose. Re-installed the bolt and tightened the other. Didn't think much about it until I read this string. Will have to check all chairs for signs of damage.

Our 2014 303 did not come with the 2 folding chairs but we removed 2 chairs (in storage) and travel with 2 padded seat metal folding chairs (like new ,from a garage sale) stowed under the bed.
I think there is less bulk for storage and more stability with the folding metal chairs. It's been almost 1 year since we did this and have yet to need the extra chairs because we're almost always eating outside at the picnic table.

Thanks for the heads up. We have the folding chairs, no problems so far. We have a friend that weighs 300lbs and he sat on one for a few hours while we played games one evening. I won't let him sit on a folding chair again. I usually try to steer him to the couch. A chair collapsing while you're seated could cause serious injury.
