Ranger trailer vault hub leak?

[britej]

I have a ranger rt188 and the left trailer wheel is covered with a film of grease from the hubs. The trailer is brand new (couple months old) and I know that many hubs, not sure about Vault, have a weep hole if the hub is overfilled with grease, once it all starts warming up, that allows excessive pressurized grease to escape. Does anyone know if these ranger vault hubs work like that? Anyone else notice this? Just trying to determine if this could possibly be an overfill from the factory vs a seal leaking...which I think would be rare on a brand new hub. Thanks to all

The vault hub is a sealed system. If you have grease on the wheel, it is a blown seal.
This system uses a Hybrid grease that gets thinner as it heats up and circulates through the center of the spindle to the back of the hub and back through the bearings to the front cover.

Lifetime warranty, unless you tinker with them. Guy that I work with made that $1500 mistake on his dual axle trailer. Take it back to the dealership if you suspect any issues

thank you for the info... its a blown seal then.

I think mine only had a 5 year warranty, dealer will fix.
