The short answer

NHTSA received MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK OF AMERICA, INC.’s report on Aug 31, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire.

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2012 FGB72 and model year 2012-2013 FEC52, FEC72, FEC92 trucks.

The low pressure fuel return hose and filter may have been improperly routed at the hose clamp near the filter.

This could allow the fuel hose to slip off of the filter, causing a fuel leak.

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.
