What is wrong
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.
Risk
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.
