What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain Mitsubishi Fuso FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, and FGB7 vehicles. The rocker arms may have been manufactured incorrectly and may break as a result.

The risk

If the rocker arms break the engine may stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rocker arms. While disassembled, the engine will be inspected and any damage will be remedied. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began October 11, 2019. Owners may contact MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
