- Summary
- An inner wheel bearing cone may be missing on some of these trailers.
- Consequence
- Without an inner bearing cone, the wheel uses the oil seal as the inner load support. Under this load, the oil seal deteriorates causing the oil contained in the wheel cavity to seep and the brake drum to restand drag on the brake lining. Dragging brakes can cause inadvertent or erratic braking and/or overheating of the brake drum which, in contacting the seeping oil can start a fire in the affected wheel assembly.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect all brake components and the axle spindle for any damage or excessive wear. Dealers will replace and repair as required.
- Notes
- System: suspension; i-beam; front bearing; wheel. Vehicle description: dry freight van trailers.note: 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 fruehauf at 1-810-578-0905. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

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.
