Power Train / Automatic Transmission
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record

Power Train / Automatic Transmission / Lever and Linkage / Floor Shift
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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.
Report filed by MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK OF AMERICA, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number C0028810. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
04V570000Received . 3,674 units.
Fuel System, Gasoline / Fuel Injection System
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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, in the NHTSA record
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.
