⚠️ What's wrong

On certain trucks, the cylinder head idler gear bushing may have been improperly machined, causing excessive stress on the cylinder head idler gear shaft. Continued operating in this condition could cause the idler gear shaft flange to break and generate abnormal engine noise or engine oil leaks.

💥 The risk

The engine could stall and would not restart increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

On vehicles with less than 15,000 miles, if the idler gear and bushing assembly, idler gear shaft and bolt will be replaced. If the mileage is more than 15,000 miles, the inside diameter of the idler gear bushing will be measured and if the bushing measures more than 32.043MM (1.262"), the idler gear and bushing assembly, idler gear shaft and bolt will be replaced. The recall began on august 13, 2007. 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.)
