Recall 06V-477: 2006–2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FE84D, 2006–2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FE85D and 1 more
MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK OF AMERICA, INC. recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Dec 20, 2006, covering about 5,466 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks, the brake vacuum hose may have been manufactured with insufficient wall thickness, allowing the hose to collapse during normal vehicle operation.
The risk
Continued operation of the vehicle in this condition could restrict proper operation of the brake power-assist and compromise braking performance; or restrict proper operation of the exhaust brake system. Either occurrence could lead to compromised braking performance and increased braking distance, which could cause a crash without warning.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose and will replace the hose. The recall began on december 21, 2006. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 877-711-0707.
