I recently had my eagle recalled due to the trailer. In particular brake weld. After inspection the entire axel and brake assembly was replaced. Now after on a month I notice rust on the brake casing. What should I do?

Take it back...... But probably quicker and easier to brush it back and recoat it with a zinc based paint yourself as I'd imagine that's all they would do anyway!
If by brake casing you mean brake drum, the round thing you see looking thru the wheel, then absolutely nothing it is normal, though you can remove the wheel, give it a quick hit with a wire brush and spray with a silver paint but don't go giving coatings of Galmet and other paint as its needed to displace heat and the paint will just retain it and cook off in time. The drum is cast.
The backing plate , the side that bolts onto the axle with the hand brake cable and stuff can get a spray of chassis black or other black if needed, it is steel can also give the axle a spray.

It won't rust away or anything just looks nice if it's painted .........mine are silver to match the rims.....but I may do them in Red next time so they look cool.
