05 The Imagine in this site’s records
Spec pages: 15 floorplans on the Grand Design Imagine line page, for model years 2026–2027. Each of those years also falls inside the federal record above.
None of the 15 Imagine floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
Owner documents from the maker: Grand Design Owner's Manual.
What was queried: NHTSA’s recall lookup under GRAND DESIGN IMAGINE for model years 2016–2024; for 2024 it answered HTTP 400 with a count of zero, which means no entry in NHTSA’s index under that name and year, not that no recall reached those trailers. The complete recall file added 3 of the 16 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
