REC-003227
active0 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.

REC-001554
active2006–2008 ISUZU FV Series
After investigation it was found that due to poor fitment of the oil seal (Gap between the oil seal and needles in the bearing cap) there were some bearing caps where it is possible that a needle could have dropped out during transportation from the supplier in US to the assembly plant Japan. Also a lack of grease applied between the cross pin and the bearing cap was identified. If a vehicle is operated under such conditions, the cross pins may seize in a short period of time. In the worst case scenario the driveshaft universal joint could fail allowing the driveshaft to become disconnected and disable the vehicle.

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.

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.

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.
