What's wrong?
The wheel studs on these 2015-2016 Grand Design Reflection and Solitude trailers are the threaded metal posts that pass through the wheel and clamp it to the axle hub with lug nuts. On a trailer axle, they hold the wheel tight against the hub while the wheel carries road load, cornering load, and braking force from the tow vehicle.
On affected trailers, the studs used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs can break. Once a stud breaks, the remaining studs and lug nuts carry more load than designed. If the clamping force is reduced, the wheel is no longer held securely against the hub, which creates a wheel-retention problem at the axle.
There is no warning sign before failure. A trailer owner should not count on noise, vibration, or a visible change at the wheel to appear before a stud breaks.
Who's affected?
Reflection appears in both model years; Solitude appears for 2016, and each listed trailer is tied to the rear suspension.

| Units affected | 148 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If wheel studs break, a wheel can detach from the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. Drive cautiously and schedule dealer service soon if your VIN is included. Repair will be free at any franchised Grand Design dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Grand Design Reflection or Solitude trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Grand Design dealer to schedule the free wheel-hub replacement that fixes the break-prone wheel studs.
- Reference recall number 15V212 when you call, and ask whether Grand Design recall 910003 appears for your VIN.
- Bring the recall notice if Grand Design mailed one.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the repair is complete. If it has to move, ask the dealer about the safest way to bring it in.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Grand Design technician checks the trailer wheel hubs covered by the recall and replaces any affected hub. The repair targets the axle hub area where the wheel studs attach the wheels to the trailer. Grand Design's remedy says the replacement is free of charge, with parts and labor covered under the recall once the dealer repair is available. Use the recall number when you speak with the service desk so they can match the trailer to the correct hub replacement instructions.
