Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks Recalled for Brake System Fire Risk
Mitsubishi Fuso is recalling 2008-2010 FE83D, FE84D, and FG84D trucks because water in the ABS ground wire could cause overheating and fire.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect in the braking system that could result in a fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.
Plain-English summary
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 FE83D, FE84D, and FG84D trucks manufactured between April 13, 2007, and December 24, 2009. The recall involves 3,652 vehicles.
The ground wire on affected vehicles equipped with an anti-lock brake system is positioned in a way that allows water to enter the wire casing and travel to the ABS hydraulic unit connector. If water permeates during normal operation, the connector terminals could corrode. This corrosion could affect the hydraulic motor circuit, causing the motor to operate continuously, overheat, and potentially result in a fire.
Owners will be notified to have the ground sub harness replaced with a waterproof harness free of charge. The safety recall began on August 4, 2010. Owners may contact Mitsubishi Fuso at 1-856-467-4500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
