    New Recall - Solitude and Momentum Ladders

    I just received an email that there is a new recall in effect for ladder problems on Momentums and Solitudes. Here is a copy of the text of the recall from the NHTSA notice:

    "Manufacturer: Grand Design RV, LLC

    SUMMARY:

    Grand Design RV (Grand Design) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Momentum toy haulers and Solitude recreational trailers manufactured July 8, 2014, to August 31, 2015, equipped with certain aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries. These ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge. CONSEQUENCE:

    If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. REMEDY:

    Grand Design will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket over the back of existing hinges, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 19, 2016. Owners may contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679. Grand Design's number for this recall is 910008. NOTES:

    Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov."

    Thanks for sharing this, Jim. Ours falls in that date range, though I've had no problem to date. We'll have to wait till the next time we request mail to see if we got one too.
