“My 2016 Grand Design Momentum 327m uses lippert 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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11139349, filed 2018-10, 5,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10897440, filed 2016-08, 2,500 miles“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.”
