2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FM61F & 2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FM64F recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, an excessive amount of weld material may be present on the rear axle housing at the joint retainer. The clearance between the joint retainer and brake connector may be beyond specification and could cause the attaching bolt to loosen allowing the brake pipe to vibrate.
💥 The risk
The brake pipe could crack, allowing brake fluid to leak, decreasing braking performance and causing a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and remove excessive weld material and repair free of charge. The recall began on june 14, 2006. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 856-467-3917.
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.)
