⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the brake master cylinder piston cups may have been manufactured with a defect in the rubber surface. Residue may have invaded the piston cups during the master cylinder manufacturing process. The residue could stick to the cups and cause them to crack during normal braking operation.
💥 The risk
A crack in the piston cup could affect the truck's braking ability, and cause a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a modified brake master cylinder assembly. The recall began on april 21, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
