Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Fire reported

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)

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
