Fruehauf is recalling 528 2025 Composite trailers equipped with Tire Pilot Plus tire pressure regulation systems because all 8 tires can lose pressure when the trailer is driven faster than 45 mph. Tire pressure loss can cause loss of stability and control or tire tread separation, and the Fruehauf dealer repair will be free once the remedy opens.

What's wrong?
The Tire Pilot Plus tire pressure regulation system on the 2025 Fruehauf Composite trailer is designed to manage air pressure at the trailer tires while the trailer is in service. Its Electronic Regulator Control Unit is the control module that directs air through supply hoses so the system can regulate tire pressure without a driver adjusting each tire by hand.
On affected trailers, the system can lose pressure at all 8 tires when the trailer is driven faster than 45 mph. Fruehauf traced the recalled trailers to builds equipped with the Saf-Holland Tire Pilot Plus Electronic Regulator Control Unit. The interim repair disconnects the air supply hoses at all tires and at the control unit, which removes the defective pressure-regulation path until the recall remedy is handled.
An owner or driver does not get a specific warning sign before the pressure loss starts. There is no warning sign before failure. Treat abnormal tire-pressure readings, visible low tires, or tire-pressure alerts as reasons to stop and have the trailer inspected before continuing.

Not every 2025 Fruehauf Composite trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Tire pressure loss while driving can reduce trailer stability, lead to loss of control, or result in tire tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash. If the trailer feels unstable or a tire loses pressure, slow down, stop in a safe place, and arrange service before continuing. Repair will be free at any franchised Fruehauf dealer once Fruehauf opens it.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Fruehauf Composite trailer is included in this recall.
- Watch for Fruehauf's second owner notice; the final Tire Pilot Plus replacement and reactivation is not open yet.
- Contact Fruehauf customer service at 1-270-282-0605 with questions and reference recall number 23V602 when you call.
- Follow Fruehauf's interim tire-pressure instructions and manage tire pressure manually until the remedy opens.
- Check tire pressure before each trip because the Tire Pilot Plus defect can let all 8 tires lose pressure above 45 mph.
What happens at the repair
Until the final repair opens, follow the interim direction to keep the Tire Pilot Plus system disabled and manage tire pressure manually. Once the remedy is available, a Fruehauf technician will work with the equipment manufacturer to replace and reactivate the Tire Pilot Plus system. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the repair opens. For out-of-pocket costs tied to this repair, SAF-HOLLAND will pay appropriate costs. Contact Fruehauf customer service to ask how to submit a reimbursement claim and what documentation the program requires.
