Defect. Fruehauf Inc. (Fruehauf) is recalling certain 2025 Composite trailers equipped with Tire Pilot Plus tire pressure regulation systems (TPRS). All 8 tires may experience a loss of tire pressure while driving faster than 45 mph.

Risk. Tire pressure loss while driving can cause a loss of stability and control or tire tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Fruehauf will work with equipment manufacturer to replace and reactivate the Tire Pilot Plus system. Owner notification letters were mailed January 25, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Fruehauf customer service at 1-270-282-0605.

Summitt Trucking, LLC purchased 100 2025 Fruehauf Dry Vans in 2023. Within the first two weeks of taking delivery, we had one of them burn to the ground. We have had two more subsequently burn to the ground. Fruehauf has refused to properly address these issues. Of note, we originally ordered Hendrickson Suspensions, but the Trailers were delivered with SAF Holland suspensions, and we were never notified of this change. Upon insisting upon a meeting with Fruehauf and Bendix, we learned these trailers had issues relating to design and placement of components which led to the brakes applying themselves while the trailer was moving. These events have culminated in federal litigation pending in the action of XXX , et. al. v. XXX., Case No.XXX. If you would like more information, please contact [XXX] at XXX [XXX] or email [XXX]. We believe this to be a matter of Public Safety. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
