What's wrong?
The microwave in a 2014 Grand Design Solitude fifth wheel trailer is household-style cooking equipment installed in the RV. It is supposed to stay off until someone enters a cook setting, closes the door, and starts a heating cycle. When it works correctly, the control panel and door switches keep the oven from energizing on its own.
This recall centers on certain Frigidaire KG-series microwaves installed in affected Solitude trailers. The defect allows the microwave to start by itself and begin heating while unattended. That means the problem is not with how the owner operates the appliance. The equipment fails at its basic off-state job: staying off until commanded.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the microwave running when no one turned it on, or heat inside the microwave after it was left unused. If that happens, stop using the microwave and keep the appliance unplugged until the recall repair is complete.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A keypad fault can let the microwave start by itself. If food, packaging, or cookware is inside, the heat can start a fire. Keep contents out of the microwave until the repair is complete, and schedule service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Grand Design dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Grand Design Solitude is included in this recall.
- Use the owner notice Grand Design mailed on May 12, 2014, or contact Grand Design customer service for repair instructions.
- Contact a franchised Grand Design dealer to ask about the free membrane/keypad repair that stops the Frigidaire microwave from starting and heating unattended.
- Reference recall number 14V214 and Grand Design recall 910001 when you call.
- Avoid storing anything inside the microwave until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Grand Design technician repairs the membrane/keypad component tied to the Frigidaire KG-series microwave control. The known dealer work is a repair of that keypad membrane assembly, not a full trailer replacement. Grand Design states the repair is free under the recall once the dealer process is open. Before bringing in the trailer, ask the Grand Design dealer service desk whether parts and scheduling are open for your VIN under campaign 14V214.
