Step 2. Carefully remove the labels. Do not use a knife or any sharp object that could scratch or gouge
the fiberglass surface.
Warning: This is a “self-destruct void” label so residue will remain on the sidewall surface.
The original sticker must be removed entirely for the replacement label to properly adhere.
Remove residue with an adhesive remover like “Goo-Gone” to fully clean the area.
Step 3. Prepare the surface with rubbing alcohol, then install the replacement label in the same
location.
Warning: Do not place labels over graphics or other decals as this could affect the adhesion.

Vehicle Safety Act.
Grand Design RV has decided that certain 2023 Imagine AIM travel trailers manufactured
between November 7, 2022, and March 8, 2023, fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle

states the tire size and inflation pressure requirement.
! IMPORTANT !

On November 7, 2022, Grand Design began production of a new AIM model. On March 8, 2023, it was discovered that the build configurator did not account for a special “Off-Road” option, which utilizes a larger tire assembly. An immediate investigation confirmed that units produced with this option had the incorrect tire size and inflation pressure listed on the Federal Certification Label. On March 8, 2023, the root cause was identified and we immediately made the decision to launch a noncompliance recall. Further quality checks revealed the configurator did not implement the Federal Certification label corrections until March 8, 2023 Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : On affected vehicles with the incorrect tire size & pressure rating on the
Federal Certification label, Grand Design Recreational Vehicles will notify retail owners and selling dealers of the concern and send a replacement label with the correct information to the servicing dealer. Dealers will verify Federal Certification label information, remove the incorrect label and replace with the correct label. Retail owners that have paid to have this service performed will be reimbursed for any expenses they incurred. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The recalled label incorrectly states the tire size as ST225/75R15LRE with a psi rating of 80 pounds. The correct label will provide the appropriate tire size and pressure – ST235/75R15LRD at 65psi.
The build configurator in our system has been corrected to assure that when this specific option is ordered the Federal Certification Label print out will contain the correct tire size & inflation pressure.
