What's wrong?
The 50-amp shore power inlet on 2022 Grand Design Reflection and Transcend travel trailers is the exterior plug connection used when the trailer is connected to campground or home power. Inside that inlet, lug bolts clamp the electrical wiring in place so the connection stays tight while the trailer is powered.
On affected trailers, the inlet lug bolts were made with metal that was too hard. Because of that, the bolts did not tighten correctly during assembly. The wiring connection can be left loose instead of clamped firmly, so the inlet does not hold the power connection the way it was designed to. Grand Design later stopped using the Epicord shore power inlet and replaced it with a Marinco inlet.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on model year or visible inspection alone, because the recall is tied to specific 2022 Reflection and Transcend trailers.
