Consumer Description

AT ABOUT 2000 MILES I NOTICED AN OILY SUBSTANCE LEAKING ONTO OUR WHEELS OF OUR TRAVEL TRAILER. AT THE SAME TIME THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN THE BREAKING ABILITY WHEN PULLING THE 5TH WHEEL. UPON INSPECTION OF THE WHEELS AND PULLING OFF THE BREAK DRUMS, THERE WAS LEAKING SEALS AND THE BREAKS WERE CONTAMINATED WITH GREASE. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION.
