MITSUBISHI FUSO Recalls

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO EURO V

During production there may have been insufficient torque settings applied to the bolts fixing the ring gear for the differential.

2011–2012 MITSUBISHI FUSO ROSA JP05

During production a machining error on the clutch drum has led to the possiblity that a snap ring could displace. This may lead to transmission clutch slippage and result in the vehicle losing all drive.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO EURO V FIGHTER & EURO V HEAVY FS/FV

The thread of the hub drum fixing nuts may not meet specifications. As a result, the hub drum fixing nuts may not tension correctly.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter (FE)

Due to insufficient tensioning of the steering bevel lock-nut on affected trucks within the VIN range, there is the possibility that the lock-nut may loosen.

2008–2010 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter FE8

Due to the improper location of the ABS hydraulic unit ground wiring harness on affected trucks, water may infiltrate resulting in corrosion within the wiring connector.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter FE8, Canber FG8

Due to the possibility of interference between the power steering box worm shaft oil holes and oil seal on affected trucks, the oil seal may fail.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FV Heavy

As a result of propeller shaft imbalance, it is possible a crack could develop in the propeller shaft centre bearing rest. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition the centre bearing rest may fracture and cause a loss of drive.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FP, FS, FV

Due to a manufacturing error within the fuel injection pump it is possible that engine oil and fuel could become mixed and find its way into the engine. Should this occur an unexpected increase in engine speed will result, and once the engine is stopped, it may not restart. In an extreme case this fuel/oil mixture could come into contact with hot engine components.

In an extreme case this fuel/oil mixture could come into contact with hot engine components.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter FK, FM & FN

Due to the improper location of an instrument panel wiring harness connector on affected trucks, condensed water from the air conditioning system may infiltrate the connector.

0 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.

1998–2004 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.

0 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.

0 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.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Rosa Bus

If a passenger on an affected bus places their hand on the entrance door partition when the passenger entrance door is operating, there is a possibility their hand may be caught between the entrance partition and the passenger door. In order to warn bus occupants of this possibility, a warning label is to be applied to the passenger entrance doorway partition.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Rosa Bus

Under certain specific vehicle operating conditions, the upper front ball joints of affected Rosa buses have been found to have insufficient strength. In extreme cases this could result in ball joint failure and loss of control of the bus steering.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FV54

It is possible one or more of the transmission bolts attaching the clutch housing to the flywheel housing may have been insufficiently tightened during production and could become loose over time.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FP, FV

Due to insufficient strength of the key-way in the clutch fork, the clutch fork may crack during normal operational use. If the truck continues to be used in this condition the clutch fork may fail completely, rendering the clutch inoperative.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter FE7

A potential fault in the glow plug relay, which is part of the engine pre-heating system, may cause the coil to overheat and possibly short circuit.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter FK, FM & FN

Due to insufficient protection material applied to the instrument panel bracket edges, the cab wiring harness may rub and short circuit at the instrument panel fuse box.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FE7 & FE8 Canter

Due to improper routing of the wiring harness for both front doors, there may be interference to the turn and hazard warning lamp harnesses.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FG649

Due to a re-design of the muffler, clearance between the exhaust tailpipe and the brake pipe which runs along the differential assembly was inadvertently reduced.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Rosa

The rear emergency door fitted to these buses may be difficult to open due to ingress of dust into the sliding latch lock assembly.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter FE534

There is a possibility that stress cracks may occur at the entry plates of the EGR cooler. If this occurs, engine coolant may leak, resulting in engine overheating.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FP, FS, FV

There is a posibility the door foot pads may break.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Heavy FP, FS, FV

There is a possibility the front axle wheel hubs fitted to these trucks may crack if subjected to overload overload conditions, or from excessive tensioning of the wheel nuts, during routine service.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Rosa Bus

There is a possibility that the seat belts fitted to the passenger seats may become frayed and damaged on the unprotected metal frame of the seat backing.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter FE659F6/F7

There is a possibility of an improper connection between the valve and the piston in the brake intensifier and in the worst case the brake may not fully release after application.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter FK6, FM6 and FN6

There is a possibility that the high pressure fuel pipe clamps may loosen due to engine vibration, resulting in fuel leakage.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter FN6

There is a possibility that the welds on the rear engine stays may crack due to vibration, resulting in engine and transmission misalignment.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Canter FE214E and FE444F

Due to insufficient strength the steering knuckle arm fitted to the truck may crack if frequent stationary steering operation is applied.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Rosa Bus

The partition in front of the first passenger seat as you enter the side door does not conform to ADR5/04 requirements.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter & Heavy

The cab hook may bend and not secure the cabin. Also the hook indicator rubber rebound cushion may stick to the hook and not properly indicate the security of the cabin. As a result the cab warning light in the dash may not illuminate when the cabin lock is relased.

The possibility that during the original assembly the front hubs may have been incorrectly packed with grease. This has the potential to cause front hub bearing damage.

0 MITSUBISHI FUSO FP, FS & FV

The rubber component of the rear engine mounts may crack during normal operation. Both front and rear engine mounts will be replaced. 47 vehicles will also require replacement of the engine wiring harness. Because of the mounting position of the harness the wire coating may have rubbed on the corrugated protective tubing and damaged the wires insulation.
