Self-adjusting brakes - included after XX/XX date?
GDRV,
I have a 2018 Reflection 28BH built 5/17 and I'd like to find-out whether or not it was built with self-adjusting brakes. It seems, from reading the forum, like some trailers have them while others do not.
Did GDRV switch to self-adjusting brakes across any/all of their model lines in 2017? Any details you could provide would certainly help answer this question for owners of different build-dates and models.
I'd appreciate any info you could provide.
Thank you,

I drove out to the storage facility and checked this today. My axles were manufactured by Lippert on 5/1/2017 and also include the SA designation. Thank you.
I had the dealer check the brakes prior to delivery and they reported that they had to replace all four backing plates (which I assume means the plate + everything attached to it like pads/magnet), the seals, and repack the bearings. I should have inquired further at the time since the scope of replacement is a bit unclear. In any case, I didn't have a problem braking after the first four or five brake applications. I cannot lock them up, but they do pull hard on the truck when I manually engage them to test. I'd feel a lot better if I could lock them up and then dial back the gain a touch.2017 F-350 CCSB 6.7L
