What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the air intake duct could fall off, increasing the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 FE83D, FE84D, FE85D, and FG84D vehicles manufactured between October 1 and December 25, 2009. The recall involves 1,517 vehicles.

The weather resistance properties of the air intake duct rubber cushions are insufficient. During normal vehicle operation, these rubber cushions can deteriorate and crack, causing abnormal noise. If all rubber cushions crack, the air intake duct could fall off the truck, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace all of the air intake duct rubber cushions with components manufactured to proper specifications at no charge to the owner. The safety recall began on February 19, 2010. Owners may contact Mitsubishi Fuso at 1-856-467-4500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
