The record on your exact RV, in plain words.
Every Sunday we read NHTSA’s files for your exact RV model and year, and send you what’s new on it and on your brand, with the fix on record when there is one.
It is free and takes four or five minutes to read. We ask for your email address and which RV you have. We never ask for a call, a payment or your VIN.
Which RV is yours?
Two real files, as they stood on Nov 6
Not an official recall notice. Your maker mails that letter. NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t list most RV makers, so ask your maker to check your VIN.
A busy file: 2025 Grand Design Reflection fifth wheel
Its subject line in the first email: Your 2025 Reflection: two recalls, a letter expected Nov 16
Shock bolts: a bolt head and washer that can break loose while you tow and drop on the road as debris, which NHTSA’s summary calls a crash risk.
The fix is free and takes a dealer about an hour: every shock bolt swapped for a grade 8 bolt.
(25.47%), per Grand Design’s quarterly report to NHTSA for Q3 2026.
In the record: Grand Design 910062, NHTSA 26V354000.
Read the whole 2025 Reflection page, or every Reflection year.
A quiet week: 2027 Grand Design Imagine
Most Sundays that is one line: nothing new, and what is on file.
2027 Grand Design Imagine: nothing new in NHTSA’s files since Nov 1. Two recalls on file, the latest from 2026.
Last item: safety chains rated below the trailer’s GVWR on 148 Imagine 25DBE trailers, filed Oct 9 under Grand Design 910069 (26V667000). Letters expected Nov 19.
The recall file held nothing created after Tue Nov 3, so later filings, if any, come in a later email.
Before you give us your email
Who are you?
RV Bulletin is an independent weekly email and a set of public pages, on each model from the makers we have opened, so far Grand Design. We are not NHTSA, and we have no tie to any maker, parts maker or dealer. The About page says who publishes it, who pays for it and how it is made.
What do you want from me?
Your email address and which RV you have, nothing more. There is nothing to call and nothing to pay, and we never want your VIN. You can unsubscribe from any email.
How do you know my RV?
We don’t, until you tell us on this page. We hold no owner lists and no registration records. Every email opens by naming the RV you gave us and the day you gave it.
Can I check this without you?
Yes. Call your maker with your VIN and ask; that is the one check we know works on an RV. NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t list most RV makers. Everything we print carries the maker’s number and NHTSA’s number, so you can look any recall up by number at nhtsa.gov/recalls or read it to a dealer.
What comes on Sunday
Your RV first
What is new on file for your make, model and year, how many have been repaired so far, and the one question to ask before you hitch up. Most Sundays that is one line: nothing new, and what is on file.
Then the wider picture
What was filed across your brand family, and one part that has turned up on other brands.
Then the lighter part
Gear recalls, the first freeze by city, the sky that week and one number. On Nov 1 it was $2.634, what a gallon of diesel costs more than a year ago. The fifth wheel has not gotten any lighter.
