Recall 910021 2017-2021 Solitude 5th Wheels
Wife just sent me this
"Grand Design RV, LLC is recalling 8,161 model year 2017-2021 Solitude 5th wheels trailers. The liquid propane (LP) supply line that runs through the exterior lower refrigerator compartment may contact the burner tube of the refrigerator , possibly damaging the line and causing an LP gas leak."
"An LP gas leak increases the risk of fire resulting in injury or even death."
"Grand Design will notify owners, and Dealers will inspect the LP supply line for damage, replacing it as necessary. All lines in the vicinity of the burner tube will be wrapped in thermal foil heat barrier material, then secured away from the burner tube of the refrigerator with additional P-clamps, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 30, 2020. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679, Grand Design's number for this recall is 910021."
Looks like we may be on the list. I checked GD's web site Recall list and its not listed there yet.
We were just discussing a maint check list in another thread, I have checked the hose in the lower refrigerator access panel and didn't see anything wrong at last check..Last edited by Steven@147; 09-17-2020 at 12:29 PM.

This is not yet an official recall (NHTSA is still working on it) and GD has asked that we not post it on social media yet. It only applies to units with absorption refrigerators and letters will go out to owners by VIN soon.

Difficult for this information not to be out there when it was published.

I’m supposed to pick up a 2021 310 next week. I contacted the dealer and asked them to verify if this impacts the Solitude I am purchasing so the could resolve it before I pick it up. There over three hours away and I’d hate to get a recall just after getting it and have to take it back to them.Jeff and Gale

I think its a good idea for owners to check their propane lines on a regular basis. I have a maintenance item to check the lines quarterly and check the pigtails whenever I refill a tank. One of my good purchases, thanks to another forum member suggestion, was a propane sniffer. The way our lines are run, the fridge and stove supply line runs very close to the left front wheel, good idea to check this line often.
I have seen a high/low camper blow up from a propane leak at a campground, it was not pretty.Steve & Tami Cass - Escapee's, FMCA Members, Texas Fulltimers Since July 2020

Bummer, just got my recall letter. For anyone who's had this done yet, any experiences to share? I'm not looking forward to returning back to the dealer!
