SAFETY RECALL NOTIFICATION – C10117 – Rear Leaf Springs

NHTSA SAFETY RECALL – 21V297

 

Dear Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Owner:

 

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

 

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in the rear leaf springs on certain 2019 Model Year FEC7T Mitsubishi Fuso trucks. The purpose of this letter is to explain what the recall is about and to keep you informed of MFTA’s implementation plan. We are currently making preparations to implement the Safety Recall remedy. We will send you another notification when the remedy is available

 

What is the problem?

On certain affected vehicles, a specific batch of rear leaf spring assemblies was built with leaves of insufficient strength that may break. If the leaf spring breaks, a broken spring leaf may exit the vehicle onto the roadway and become a road hazard, or may strike another vehicle, resulting in a crash.

 

What should you do in the interim?

We appreciate your patience while we prepare the remedy. In the meantime, you hear any abnormal noise from the rear suspension, or notice that a spring leaf is broken, please make an appointment with your authorized Mitsubishi Fuso dealer as soon as possible to have the rear leaf springs in your vehicle inspected and repaired.

 

What if you have other questions?

If you require further assistance, you may contact the Mitsubishi Fuso Customer Service at 1-877-711-0707.

 

If your MFTA Dealer is unable to perform this procedure without charge, or within a reasonable amount of time, you may also contact the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

 

What if you have previously paid for repairs to your vehicle for this condition?

If you have previously paid for repairs to your vehicle for this condition prior to receiving this letter, we will provide you instructions for reimbursement consideration in the second owner letter once the remedy preparations are completed.

 

Federal regulation requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. If you are the lessor of the above referenced vehicle, please forward this notification immediately.

 

Sincerely,

 

Scott M. Coyle

Vice President, Service Operations
