What's wrong?
The CURT by Lippert axle on 2023 Grand Design Momentum and Reflection travel trailers carries the trailer's weight and lets each wheel hub turn while the suspension absorbs road movement. The grease zerk is a small fitting at the wheel end where grease is added to keep the hub components lubricated and cool. That fitting has to stay tight so grease stays where it belongs.
On the affected 5200 and 6000 CURT RV axles, the grease zerk was not properly tightened during assembly. If it separates, grease can leave the fitting area and damage parts at the wheel end. That damage can progress until the wheel assembly no longer stays attached to the axle.
Owners can notice vibration, noise, or excessive heat at the wheel end before the problem reaches that point. If any of those signs appear, stop towing and have the trailer inspected before it moves again.

What's the safety risk?
A wheel that detaches from the trailer increases the risk of a crash. If you notice vibration, noise, or unusual heat at a wheel end, stop towing when it is safe and call a Grand Design dealer before moving the trailer again. Repair is free at any franchised Grand Design dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Grand Design Momentum or Reflection is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Grand Design dealer to schedule the free grease-fitting inspection and repair.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the 5200 or 6000 CURT RV axle grease fittings and repair or replace any improperly tightened fittings that can separate and lead to wheel detachment.
- Bring the recall notice if Grand Design mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V455 and Grand Design recall 910038 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the dealer confirms the axle grease fittings are secure.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Grand Design technician inspects the grease fittings on the affected CURT axles. The technician repairs the fittings or replaces them when needed, so the fitting stays secured and does not damage the wheel end. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you've already paid for this service, Grand Design reimburses documented defect-related expenses. Bring the repair invoice and proof of payment to the service desk.
