Leaking axle seal?

[Free2roam]

Well looks like I'm in the pool too of leaking axle seals. Surprised they didn't catch it yesterday when I went in for my first oil change and tire rotation. Right rear just like everyone else.

My 2021 has a 05/18 build date. Thankfully, no visible leaks @ 2100 mi. I have replaced my factory fill to 75w140 in both axles.

I dare say those tires weren't rotated yesterday.

Just took my 2021 jeep gladiator willys for an oil change and first service just got a call stating the rear axle seal is leaking on the passenger rear told me they don't have a specialist in today to look at it and soonest apt to get it fixed would be end of October... Jeep had 5600 miles on it and was going in Monday to get the lift kit installed.

Bet it was built in Spring. Sorry to hear you've joined our club. @JeepCares How do we contact Jeep Technical Service about a TSB?

Actually the front right has the same oil on it. Also when I took a picture of it when I got home yesterday it had no oil on it.

Checked with my dealership service department after my confirmed leak last week. Tentative date of 11/10 for axle delivery, but the parts guy didn't sound very confident. Just what I wanted for my first ever brand new car ?

I stand corrected. Yours is leaking pretty good. Whoever rotated your tires sure had HUA if they didn't notice that.

Sorry I was reading it like May 2018, whoops.

Update - truck was dropped off at the dealer yesterday. Received a call in the afternoon, no axles were readily available but a different dealership was willing to give one up/ship it out and should arrive tomorrow. Crossing fingers to be back in the truck end of day Thursday.

Update - received the truck back and things look to be good. They did not replace any of the brake components that I’m aware of. Will keep an eye on it going forward.
Didn’t notice any driving issues while pulling a 3k lbs trailer.

So is it a different axle? Or is it an upgraded version?
