JULY
2010 --
Mitsubishi Fuso (MFTA) is
recalling certain model year
2008 through 2010 FE83D,
FE84D, and FG84D trucks
manufactured from April 13,
2007 through December 24,
2009. The ground wire on
affected vehicles equipped
with an anti-lock brake
system is positioned in such
a manner that water could
enter the wire casing and
travel to the abs hydraulic
unit connector. If water
permeates during normal
vehicle operation, the
connector terminals could
become corroded. This
corrosion could affect the
hydraulic motor circuit in
such a manner that the motor
would operate continuously,
causing the motor to
overheat and potentially
result in a fire. MFTA will
notify owners and replace
the ground sub harness with
a waterproof harness free of
charge. The safety recall
began on August 4, 2010.
MFTA's recall campaign
number is C1004210.
10V-319
NOVEMBER 2009 --
Mitsubishi Fuso is recalling
certain model year 2005
through 2010 FE83D, FE84D,
FE85D and FG84D vehicles.
The weather resistance
properties of the air intake
duct rubber cushions is
insufficient. During normal
vehicle operation, the
rubber cushions deteriorate
and crack, causing abnormal
noise. All of the rubber
cushions could crack,
allowing the air intake duct
to fall off of the truck
increasing the risk of
crash. Dealers will replace
all of the air intake duct
rubber cushions with
components manufactured to
proper specifications. This
remedy will be performed
free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin
on or before February 19,
2010. 09V-449
AUGUST
2008 -- Mitsubishi Fuso
is recalling 2,957 MY 2008
FE83D, FE84D, FE85D, and
FG84D trucks. The bolt holes
in the turbocharger bracket,
where the turbocharger is
affixed, were manufactured
with insufficient clearance.
Stress is placed on the
mounting boss when the
bracket is affixed to the
turbocharger, due to
insufficient clearance
between the affixing bolts
and bracket holes. In this
condition, expansion and
contraction of the
turbocharger housing
mounting boss during normal
engine operation may cause
thermal fatigue of the
turbocharger housing. The
turbocharger housing may
crack, releasing exhaust
gases that could cause a
fire. Dealers will replace
the bracket. The recall is
expected to begin on or
about September 30, 2008.
