Grease Smell from Passenger Tire Area?

I have about 1700 miles on my 2020 Ram. I towed a trailer about 200 miles the other day and when I arrived at my destination, I walked around the front of the truck to do a "check" for fluid leaks, etc. When I walked past the passenger wheel, I smelled what I thought was grease (like Moly or bearing grease). I didn't see anything obvious, turned the wheel in and out and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Ever since then, I have smelled the grease smell after about 15 minute trips. I still do not see anything leaking, or at least that I can tell. Anyone else have this?

Hi d19r93,

We certainly understand why this would be concerning. After hearing back from fellow forum members, if you decide to have your dealer look into this, please let us know via private message. We would be more than happy to provide you with an additional layer of support for that process.

This went away after a few car washes. I think I ran over something in the road that caused the smell, because the dealer did not see anything leaking, and did not find anything out of the ordinary. But I no longer smell it.
