What was wrong

Defect

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, and FGB72 trucks manufactured April 8, 2011, to July 22, 2014. The affected vehicles have a fuel return hose that may deteriorate due to being exposed to chemicals or lubricants, causing the hose to swell and detach.

Risk

If the fuel hose detaches a fuel leak may result, increasing the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel return hose, replacing it with an improved hose, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 15, 2016. Owners may call MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707. MFTA's number for this recall is C1008210.
