2006–2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FE84D & 2006–2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FE85D + 1 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
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.)
