active0 Toyota Land Cruiser 200
On certain Land Cruiser 200 model vehicles where fitted with Toyota genuine bull bars, especially if they operate for long periods in harsh usage conditions such as corrugated roads, the bull bar bracket design allows excessive load to be applied to the front frame portion that supports the bull bar. This can result in cracking of the frame welds.

REC-003178
active0 Iveco ITEC 7600
There have been several occurrences where the support bracket on the oil filler tube of the Caterpillar C12 engine in the International 7600 has failed causing part of the bracket to break away. Due to the proximity of the bracket to the steering shaft, there is a risk that the broken section of the bracket can foul with the steering shaft. The effect of the bracket fouling with the steering shaft can include loss of steering control as the steering shaft could jam.

REC-003217
active0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter FK & FM
In affected trucks, due to incorrect routing of the brake air tube connecting the air tank and brake valve, the air tube may interfere with the bracket which locates the throttle cable and the horn harness. As a result, during normal operation the air tube and bracket may rub together. In extreme cases there is the possibility the air tube may leak, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

REC-001075
active1998-2004 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter, Heavy
Investigations have shown that moisture may enter the park brake chambers causing corrosion to form on the internal springs. In extreme cases, there is the remote possibility the spring could break and air leak from the brake chamber's diaphragms. This would result in the park brake unexpectedly being applied and locking-on during normal operation.

REC-003219
active0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FN61F, FS52J & FV54J
It is possible that if an affected truck is driven at high speed for an extended period, a crack may develop in the propeller shaft centre bearing bracket/s. In such cases there is the remote possibility the bracket/s could fracture, causing the propeller shaft assembly to drop and resulting in sudden loss of drive. This is due to the bracket/s having insufficient strength if a vehicle is operated at high-speed.

REC-003218
active0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FP418
Investigations have shown that if an affected vehicle is subjected to abnormally frequent hill starts or quick take offs, the weld between the propeller shaft spine and pipe may crack in extreme cases. This is due to the weld lacking sufficient durability. If the truck continues to be driven in this condition there is the possibility the propeller shaft may break, preventing drive from being transmitted to the rear wheels.
