active

1998–2004 MITSUBISHI FUSO Fighter, Heavy

Category: Heavy Vehicle · Supplier: Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd

Recall date: 19 December 2008

Defect

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.
