- Defect:
- On certain trucks, the rubber portion of the fuel injection pipe clamps could deteriorate. normal vehicle operation could cause the deteriorated clamp to loosen and drip.
- Consequence:
- If this condition occurs in the area of the fuel injection pump, the engine starter could short circuit if the clamp drops onto the starter terminal. this could prevent the engine from starting. excessive heat from the short circuit could cause a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will remove each clamp and inspect for rubber deterioration and will replace the clamp if the rubber deterioration is evident. dealers will replace the attaching hardware and apply adhesive to prevent the bolts/nuts from loosening and inspect for a rubber cap on the starter motor's terminal and install a cap if one is not present to prevent a short circuit. the recall began on january 13, 2005. owners should contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-877-711-0707.

- 05V304000 on 06/28/2005
- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift
- Manufactured:
- 06/14/2000 - 01/11/2004
- Affected:
- 15,549
- Defect:
- On certain medium duty trucks, rust build-up on the automatic transmission (a/t) shift linkage may cause the linkage to bind. rust build-up is accelerated in geographic locations that are situated near large bodies of salt water, or in regions with heavy snow/ice melting compound usage in winter months.
- Consequence:
- The effort required to operate the a/t shift control lever may increase if the linkage binds due to rust build-up. the shift control lever may become inoperative, or the physical shift lever position on the shift lever housing gear indicator may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a modified a/t shift control lever assembly. the recall began on september 26, 2005. owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
