Axle seals leaked allowing grease to enter brake drums and coat shoes, magnet and drum. Confirmed by lippert components while vehicle was at grand design service shop.
My 2016 grand design momentum 327m useslippert axles.three of the four grease seals leaked and were found during a state inspection.the grease contaminated the brakes.a 2018 state inspection again showed failed grease seals and contaminated brakes.the warranty covered the cost on the 2016 inspection, but not the 2018 inspection.i contacted grand design regarding the issue.i was told that new models were built using dexter axles to solve the problem.as a registered professional mechanical engineer, i am concerned that i have a camper with a 16,000+lb gvwr that has leaking seals and possibly failed brakes.i requested new axles, but grand design did not respond.i am requesting that nhtsa issue a recall to require that the issue is fixed before it causes an accident.i found a class action suit already filed to address the issue so it is a common problem.thank you.
The grease seals on the drums leaked from the factory and allowed the brakes to be contaminated.more details are at http://www.granddesignowners.com/forum/showthread.php/8531-poll-how-many-of-you-have-had-your-grease-seals-fail?p=104942&viewfull=1#post104942
After reading on the grand design owners forum about leaking grease seals on the wheels, i decided to do an inspection of my brakes. I have put only 500 miles on my trailer since taking delivery on june 8, 2016. I assume that the trailer was delivered to oregon by towing it from the factory. I removed the right front brake drum and sure enough found a failed grease seal and globs of wheel bearing grease on the drum, brake shoes and magnet.
