“Lippert components (lci) of elkhart in, are the manufactures of the axle and brake equipment used on the Grand Design brand of trailers. I have a 2014 Solitude 369rl 5th wheel. I have about 10,000 miles on the unit and during my last trip out I lost some braking capability. After further review 2 of the 4 brakes had grease leaking from the rear grease seal into the brake drums. I have never greased these with this little mileage. I posted on facebook today and had about 10 people who own Grand Design trailers who had the exact same problems. …”
NHTSA complaint #10700897, filed 2015-03, 10,000 miles“Had axel seals go bad on all 4 wheels causing very loose runny grease to leak past and coat the brake drums, shoes, magnet and all other components with a lot of grease causing the brakes to slip and not work. The trailer only had 1250 miles on it.”
