This can be a deadly defect. When bearing lubrication fails or wears out, it's metal bearings on metal - and that friction can quickly overheat to the point of causing a fire in the wheel area. Don't take a chance. If your dealer isn't helping you, we can. Getting rid of lemon trailers and lemon Rv's is what we do. And making the manufacturer pay for our time is only fair.
