What's wrong?
The PRX1 Ramp Door on 2022-2023 Grand Design Momentum fifth wheels is the powered rear ramp door that opens for loading and closes into the body opening. Its electric cut-off switch is supposed to stop power to the winch once the ramp door reaches the closed position. That stop point matters because the winch should not keep pulling on a door that is already shut.
On affected Momentum fifth wheels, the cut-off switch does not reliably end power to the ramp door system. The winch continues to operate after the door is closed, so the mechanism keeps tension on the ramp instead of resting. That extra powered pull can leave the door unsupported or out of control, and the ramp door can fall.
The warning sign is sound. If the winch motor keeps running after the ramp door has completely closed, treat that as the sign that the switch is not cutting power the way it should.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same PRX1 Ramp Door body structure component.

What's the safety risk?
A ramp door that falls creates an injury risk for anyone standing near it. If the winch motor keeps running after the ramp door has fully closed, keep people clear of the door area and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Grand Design dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Grand Design technician replaces the electric ramp door mechanism so the cut-off switch no longer leaves continuous power available to the ramp door. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Owner letters were mailed August 24, 2022, so the repair is available now through a Grand Design dealer. If you already paid for work tied to this defect, Grand Design reimburses those expenses. Bring repair paperwork and proof of payment to the service desk, or contact Grand Design customer service at 1-574-825-9679.
