This is for a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 28BH fifth wheel that we purchased a month ago. The slide out will not work properly causing major issues. We had to dismantle and remove the refrigerator and use a jack to prop up the slide out to get it to slide back in. This is after having to take apart the coverings to force the slide out back on it's track for it twisted and bent due to one side going out while the other side didn't. Also, the previous owners stated they had the frame fixed because it had issues,...

yet we have experienced continual issues with the frame bowing and the back left side is sagging. My husband sustained a strangulated hernia using his strength to force the slide out to go back out when we arrived at our new destination. We are currently living in the trailer for we are homeless, so we have no choice but to keep using it. We will, however, not be pulling the trailer anywhere now that we know there's an active lawsuit for this exact year, make, & model. The first time we used the slide out, it made horrible clicking noises. We contacted the previous owners asking them if they had issues with the slide out, to which they replied no.
The contact owns a 2017 Grand Design Reflection. The contact stated that after the RV was taken to the factory for warranty repairs and linoleum floors were installed, the back wall separated approximately 3/8" from the floor, and the rear end of the RV began detaching. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by telephone and informed the contact that the RV was out of warranty, instructing the contact to take the vehicle to a welder for a repair estimate. However, the contact stated that the welders do not weld aluminum. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
The contact owns a 2021 Grand Design Reflection RV. The contact stated that the fireplace glass shattered. The contact was not present when the failure occurred but expressed concern that the glass shattered randomly. The contact stated that research revealed several reports of similar failures. The contact stated a belief that the failure was caused by a factory defect in the fireplace glass. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to provide a replacement glass cover for the fireplace. The failure mileage was unknown.
1)The glass on the Furrion fireplace exploded. There are photos, but it has been cleaned up. It was not under any stress. It was parked in our driveway, not in use, and the power was plugged in with ACs set to keep the internal temperature from any significant fluctuations. 2/3)While our direct safety was not at risk because it was not in use, you can see by the photo the blast and the shards of glass could have seriously injured anyone (person, children, or pets) who may have been inside. There are numerous...

reports of this happening to others, some of whom were inside. They are all grand design, units, many the same model. See enclosed photos. 4)We reported it to grand design via phone on 9/3/26, a case # was assigned #01098902, and an emailed was received on Friday 9/11/26 that they will only replace the broken glass a courtesy since unit is out of warranty. I am more concerned about a potential defect in this unit and the potential for severe injury. A recall does not require a warranty, and this should be investigated immediately. No one has inspected. 5)There were no warning signs or symptoms. I was in the trailer on Monday Aug. 31st. The fireplace was fine. My husband went out there the morning of Sept. 3rd and there was glass everywhere.
