Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.

DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

Posted on: 1993-11-16
Description
Some trailers are missing cotter pins which lock the axle nut into position on the axle.

Consequence
The missing cotter pin allows the axle nut to unscrewand come off the spindle resulting in the wheel assembly coming off the axlewhile the trailer is in motion. This could cause property damage, seriousinjury or death.

Corrective Action
Each wheel end will be inspected for missing cotter pin and, if a cotter pin is found missing, the trailer is to be removed from service and a wheel end assembly adjustment performed.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Posted on: 1994-08-19
Description
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.

Consequence
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.

Corrective Action
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.

Notes
System: brakes; air systems; lines; hose; non-metallic.vehicle description: dry-freight van semi-trailers equipped with nt air ride suspensions.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agree upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time or the remedy does not correct the defect, please contact fruehauf at 1-810-948-1428.
