All recalls
Power train: automatic transmission
- What is wrong
- Mitsubishi fuso is recalling 15,549 my 1999-2004 fe639, fe649, and fg639 trucks; my 2001-2004 fe640, and my 2003-2004 fh210 trucks equipped with automatic transmissions. Normal heat emanating from the exhaust pipe may cause the automatic transmission shift linkage to deform. The effort required to operate the automatic transmission shift control lever may increase if the linkage binds due to the deformation.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a modified automatic transmission shift control lever assembly free of charge. The recall began on august 6, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1‑856‑467‑4500.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is 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.
- Risk
- The engine could stall and would not restart increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- 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.

- Risk
- The bolt could break, causing the engine to stall and not restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will check the idler shaft bolt. If the bolt cannot be removed by hand, a modified idler shaft bolt will be installed.

Recall number 05V451000 · Recall details
Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On certain trucks, the cylinder head idler gear bushing may have been improperly machined, causing excessive stress on the cylinder head gear shaft.
- Risk
- Continued operation in this condition could cause the idler gear shaft flange to break and generate abnormal engine noise and/or engine oil leaks. In the worst case, the engine could stall and would not restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will measure the inside diameter of the cylinder head idler gear bushing. If the bushing is out of specification, dealers will replace the idler gear bushing, idler gear shaft, and idler gear assembly free of charge. The recall began on december 20, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1‑856‑467‑4500.
Recall number 05V411000 · Recall details
Power train: automatic transmission: lever and linkage: floor shift
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
Recall number 05V304000 · Recall details
Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On certain medium duty trucks, the rear engine support bracket is composed of materials of insufficient strength. Normal vehicle vibrations may cause the bracket to crack.
- Risk
- If the vehicle is continually operated in this condition, the bracket may break apart, causing the transmission to drop out of alignment with the drive train.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a modified rear engine support bracket. The recall began on september 26, 2005. Owners should contact mitsubishi fuso at 1‑856‑467‑4500.
Recall number 05V303000 · Recall details
Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
- What is wrong

- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
