2004 Mitsubishi Fuso FE640 & 2004 Mitsubishi Fuso FH210 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the cylinder head idler gear bushing may have been improperly machined, causing excessive stress on the cylinder head gear shaft.
💥 The risk
Continued operation in this condition could cause the idler gear shaft flange to break and generate abnormal engine noise and/or engine oil leaks. In the worst case, the engine could stall and would not restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will measure the inside diameter of the cylinder head idler gear bushing. If the bushing is out of specification, dealers will replace the idler gear bushing, idler gear shaft, and idler gear assembly free of charge. The recall began on december 20, 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.)
