What’s wrong with it?

ALL OF THE RUBBER CUSHIONS COULD CRACK, ALLOWING THE AIR INTAKE DUCT TO FALL OFF OF THE TRUCK INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.

MITSUBISHI FUSO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2010 FE83D, FE84D, FE85D AND FG84D VEHICLES.

THE WEATHER RESISTANCE PROPERTIES OF THE AIR INTAKE DUCT RUBBER CUSHIONS IS INSUFFICIENT.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
