Owner report 11635915 · 2025-01-14 (January 14, 2025)
I noticed a grinding noise coming from the left front wheel of my Grand Design Momentum. Concerned, I brought it to the dealership the following week for inspection. Upon examination, they discovered that the bolts securing the brake calipers were entirely missing from the system, with no traces of the bolts found in the wheel assembly. As a result, the calipers had come loose and were grinding against both the wheel hub and the rim. This issue presented a significant safety hazard. According to the dealership, the situation could have escalate…
