The problem is NOT your brakes. The grease is coming from axle seals that are leaking wheel bearing grease. Let me guess, you have axles that were manufactured by Lippert Components? If so, this is a problem that is recurring frequently as reported in multiple forums I've read. If not, I apologize to Lippert for the assumption.
This is absolutely a product defect that should be covered under warranty. Do not let them talk you into paying for this yourself. Contact the manufacturer of your rig and pester them for a repair. This is NOT normal wear and tear on the brakes. If your axles are manufactured by Lippert, contact them at www.LCI1.com or 866-524-7821.
Finally, this is a safety defect. You should file a complaint with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. If enough similar complaints are lodged, they will evaluate and potentially force a recall. Here is a link for filing a complaint:
