What's wrong?
The battery warming pad on the 2025 Grand Design Lineage is an electric heater mounted near the house battery. Its job is to keep the battery warm in cold conditions so the coach electrical system can support normal operation. The pad needs to sit flat, with its wiring protected from pressure, folds, and heat buildup.
On affected Lineage motorhomes, the pad was installed incorrectly with a crease. That crease can damage wiring inside the heater pad and create an electrical short. A short can overheat the pad or nearby material in the house battery compartment, leading to melting, smoke, or flame.
The warning sign is smoke or flame from the house battery compartment, or visible melting near the battery warming pad. If you see smoke near that compartment, stop using the motorhome and keep clear of the area.
