Risk markers carried in the record

No park-it or park-outside warning is flagged in this vehicle's collected record. This does not establish that the vehicle is defect-free or that every notice is included.

The markers above summarize fields available in this dataset. A missing marker is not a safety finding. Recall status and remedy eligibility can depend on vehicle identification number, equipment, production date, and whether a repair has already been completed.

Recall distribution by component

9 component categories

Counts and shares use the vehicle-level recall records shown below. The horizontal bar is scaled to the largest category on this page.

Component labels follow the source record's component field. Where the source includes a more detailed subcomponent after a colon, this distribution groups the record under the first component segment. Shares are calculated against 10 campaigns and rounded to one decimal place, so displayed percentages may not sum to exactly 100 percent.

Summary
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain 2004-2017 FE84D, FE85D, FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, FGB72, FK61F and FM657 trucks.

Consequence
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy

Summary
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 FEC52 vehicles manufactured February 3, 2011, to March 31, 2015, and 2012-2013 FEC72 and FEC92 vehicles manufactured February 3, 2011, to January 9, 2013. The affected vehicles have brake pad shims that may rust or corrode after exposure to snow and ice melting chemicals that have been applied to roadways.

Consequence
Rust or corrosion will result in swelling of the shims causing an increased brake pedal stroke. The extra brake travel may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy
MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will replace any steel brake pad shims with stainless steel shims, free of charge. The recall began on October 6, 2015. Owners may call MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707. MFTA's number for this recall is C1008010.

Summary
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, and FGB72 trucks; manufactured from April 8, 2011, through October 16, 2012. The parking brake cable nut may have been insufficiently tightened during assembly. As a result, the parking brake cable could loosen with each operation of the parking brake.

Consequence
Continued use of the parking brake could result in the inability for it to hold the vehicle stationary. This may lead to a truck rollaway increasing the risk of pedestrian injury or a vehicle crash.

Remedy
MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the parking brake nut, free of charge. The safety recall began on December 19, 2012. Owners may contact MFTA at 1-856-467-4500.
