2017 Grand Design Reflection Brakes Problems

“Leaking grease seals on both passenger side axles contaminating brake shoes. I had dealer pull the brake drums prior to delivery of our new trailer and we found grease contamination. The trailer only had been transported from indiana to florida dealer.”

“We were on a trip from california to texas and the grease seals on all 4 wheels failed and contaminated the brakes. I have owned the vehicle for 1 month and it had less than 1,200 miles on it.”

“The brakes, seals and bearings on my 5th wheel travel trailer will have to be replaced for the third time due to the seals leaking grease onto the brakes. All four backing plates, the front two hubs and all four grease seals and bearings were replaced on our first trip after taking possession of the fifth wheel in may 2017. This was done at a camping world dealership in north carolina and resulted in being without the use of our trailer from may 18 ' 23. On our second trip, starting on july 9, 2017, the brakes again began performing poorly. …”

“Just purchased an new travel trailer. Many, many reports of lci axle seals leaking and dispersing grease on brake assemblies. Sure enough, dealer had to replace two of four brake assemblies, as well as all four seals as they all had leaked (trailer was new, just drove to dealer from factory). This issue needs to be corrected before someone is hurt.”

“Brakes were not working very well, with the trailer brake controller gain in my truck set at 10.0 (full on). Problem was caused by leaking axle seals on the passenger side of the vehicle which resulted in the brake shoes and drums being coated with axle grease. All four brake assemblies and axle seals were replaced by the dealer under warranty.”
