2003 Mitsubishi Fuso FE639 recalls
Recall 08V-224: Power Train
Problem: Mitsubishi fuso is recalling 15,549 my 1999-2004 fe639, fe649, and fg639 trucks; my 2001-2004 fe640, and my 2003-2004 fh210 trucks equipped with automatic transmissions. Normal heat emanating from the exhaust pipe may cause the automatic transmission shift linkage to deform. The effort required to operate the automatic transmission shift control lever may increase if the linkage binds due to the deformation.
Risk: The shift control lever may become inoperative, or the physical shift lever position on the shift lever housing gear indicator may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.
Fix: Dealers will install a modified automatic transmission shift control lever assembly free of charge. The recall began on august 6, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
Recall 08V-221: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: Mitsubishi fuso is recalling 10,325 my 1999-2004 fe639 and fe649 trucks. The rear engine support bracket is composed of materials of insufficient strength. Normal vehicle vibrations may cause the bracket to crack.
Risk: If the vehicle is continually operated in this condition, the bracket may break apart. The transmission could drop out of alignment with the drive train.
Fix: Dealers will install a modified rear engine support bracket component free of charge. The recall began on august 6, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 856-467-3917.
Recall 05V-304: Power Train
Problem: On certain medium duty trucks, rust build-up on the automatic transmission (A/t) shift linkage may cause the linkage to bind. Rust build-up is accelerated in geographic locations that are situated near large bodies of salt water, or in regions with heavy snow/ice melting compound usage in winter months.
Risk: The effort required to operate the a/t shift control lever may increase if the linkage binds due to rust build-up. The shift control lever may become inoperative, or the physical shift lever position on the shift lever housing gear indicator may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.
Fix: Dealers will install a modified a/t shift control lever assembly. The recall began on september 26, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
