“Mine is a 5th wheel trailer. It had 7k lb lippert axles from the factory. All four inside seals leaked and got grease on the brake drums and shoes. The trailer brakes didn't work from the first day I got the trailer. I ended up changing out the axles with dexter 8k lb axles with never lube bearings so I would never have this problem again. I found out lippert was reimbursing for this repair. What do I need to do to qualify?”
NHTSA complaint #11067135, filed 2018-02, 6,000 miles“Just picked up a brand new 2018 Grand Design Solitude 310gk 5th wheel trailer and noticed that the brakes don't work very well. Towed the unit home 400 miles and decided to contact lippert, the manufacturer of the axles and brakes. I was given a claim number to inspect the brakes. Due to owning a tire repair shop, I was allowed to perform the inspection myself. What I found was no issue on the two hubs and brakes on the left side of the unit, brakes contaminated with grease on the two right hand hubs. Grease was on the magnets, inside of the drum braking surfaces and magnet surface. …”
