1994-1995 LBT Trailer

Vehicle description: fruehauf large capacity petroleum trailers built with tandem neway air-ride suspension systems.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary: Vehicle description: fruehauf large capacity petroleum trailers built with tandem neway air-ride suspension systems. Operation of the trailers has revealed a possibility that the axle bracket-to-axle welds could crack, and the cracks could propagate into the axle beam.
Consequence: The cracking could affect vehicle stability. The reduction in vehicle stability would be indicated to the operator by abnormal handling characteristics such as swaying of the vehicle. If the operator does not heed the reduction of vehicle stability, a vehicle crash could occur in the form of a rollover.
Remedy: Lbt will replace the neway air-ride suspension system with a pro-par four-leaf spring suspension and will also replace the two vehicle axles. Owner notification is expected to begin during June/July 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact lbt at 1-402-333-4900.
Notes: Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your LBT been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A LBT dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
