What's wrong?
The solar panel on the 2025-2026 Grand Design Lineage is mounted on the roof and supplies electrical power to the RV system. It is supposed to stay bonded to the roof while the vehicle is parked or moving, with the adhesive holding the panel against wind, vibration, and normal road movement.
On affected Lineage recreational vehicles, the epoxy adhesive used under the solar panel does not bond properly with the roof and panel surfaces. That weak bond can loosen over time. If the adhesive lets go, the solar panel can lift from the roof and detach from the vehicle instead of staying secured in place.
There is little to no warning before this happens. An owner will not always see a gap, hear a rattle, or notice visible movement before the panel separates, so the absence of a symptom does not confirm the roof panel is secure.
Who's affected?
The scope crosses two model years and two component categories: the solar panel and the structural fasteners connected to it.
| 2026 Grand Design Lineage | Solar panel |
|---|---|
| 2026 Grand Design Lineage | body or structural component |
| 2025 Grand Design Lineage | Solar panel |
| 2025 Grand Design Lineage | body or structural component |
| Units affected | 1,269 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A detached solar panel can fall into traffic and become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. There is little to no warning before separation, so schedule the repair soon and avoid ignoring loose panel hardware or roof damage. Repair is free at any franchised Grand Design dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Grand Design Lineage is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Grand Design dealer to schedule the free mechanical-fastener installation that secures the roof solar panels.
- Bring the recall notice if Grand Design has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V276 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Grand Design technician installs mechanical fasteners to secure the roof-mounted solar panels so the adhesive is not the only thing holding them in place. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 24, 2026, but the remedy is listed as available. If you've already paid for this solar-panel attachment repair, Grand Design's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Ask Grand Design customer service how to submit the paperwork.
