What's wrong?
The entrance door latch on the 2025-2026 Grand Design Lineage is the hardware that turns the outside or inside handle pull into latch movement. On these trailers, the Lippert Modularia door uses a latch tension rod inside the door assembly. That rod helps transfer handle movement so the latch releases and the door opens.
In the recalled trailers, the retaining clip on that tension rod can break. Once the clip breaks, the rod loses the secure connection it needs, and the handle no longer releases the latch as designed. The original retainer clip is all white; the remedy uses a white and blue retainer clip, plus a secondary retainer to keep the rod secured.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can pull the handle and find that it does not open the entrance door, even if the handle worked normally the last time it was used.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
A door latch failure can keep occupants from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. There is no warning sign before failure. Until the repair is complete, make sure every occupant knows another exit path and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Grand Design dealer.
