Weitz & Luxenberg has filed a nationwide class action lawsuit against Winnebago Industries and its subsidiary Grand Design RV, LLC.
The complaint centers on frame failures in Grand Design RV models sold between 2020 and 2023, including the Reflection, Influence, Solitude, and Momentum series. Customers allege that these RVs, marketed as full-time livable vehicles, are structurally unsound and unreliable during transport.
Customers Left Without Homes
The firm states that many buyers spent over $100,000 on these RVs expecting to live and travel in them. Instead, frame defects left them stranded, forced to stay in hotels or with friends, and often without their RVs for months during lengthy repairs.
Warranty Complaints and Repair Obstacles
The lawsuit also criticizes Grand Design’s warranty policy, calling it “largely illusory.” Customers say they faced unreasonable delays and restrictions, with many required to transport their RVs to Indiana for repairs—something not feasible for all owners.
Allegations of Deceptive Marketing
According to the filing, the company used targeted marketing during the pandemic to sell RVs to customers seeking safe travel options. The lawsuit claims the manufacturer knew about the defects but continued selling the RVs without disclosing the issue or issuing a recall.
Legal Claims and State Subclasses
The suit accuses the defendants of consumer fraud, false advertising, and product defects. It alleges that cost-cutting and unsafe manufacturing practices contributed to the problems. Subclasses are included for affected residents in several states, based on violations of specific state consumer protection laws.
Contact Information for Affected Owners
Anyone who purchased one of the affected RVs between 2020 and 2023 can contact Weitz & Luxenberg at (917) LAWYERS to learn about joining the lawsuit or seeking compensation.
