Are you positive that it is dust and not grease from a defective/blown seal?
On our last TT purchased new, after complaining about bad brakes for over a year, they finally found cosmoline on the brake components that should have been removed at the factory. It left a black mess on the rims. They kept saying it was the brake controller but it definitely wasn't.
How old is your TT? Have you ever had the brakes checked and bearings repacked? If a new TT, then just let the dealer fix it. It does sound like dust and the brakes need adjusting. If it were me, I'd want the drums pulled and everything inspected.
