- Summary
- The roadside from axle emergency side brake hose routed from the brake relay valve to the brake chamber can rub the nt suspension stabilizer frame bracket. This can cause abrasion and wear on the hose which can lead to cracking or rupture.
- Consequence
- If rupture of the brake hose occurs while the trailer is in motion, the emergency spring brakes will apply suddenly without prior warning to the vehicle operator, which could result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
- Remedy
- Inspect the front axle brake hoses for possible rubbing. If either of the two front axle hoses are rubbing, immediately take the trailer out of service until the unit can be repaired. The inspection/repair can be performed either by the owner or by an authorized fruehauf dealer. Detailed repair instructions will be mailed to owners.

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