The problem
Mitsubishi fuso (mfta) is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 fe83d, fe84d, and fg84d trucks manufactured from april 13, 2007 through december 24, 2009. The ground wire on affected vehicles equipped with an anti-lock brake system is positioned in such a manner that water could enter the wire casing and travel to the abs hydraulic unit connector.
The risk
If water permeates during normal vehicle operation, the connector terminals could become corroded. This corrosion could affect the hydraulic motor circuit in such a manner that the motor would operate continuously, causing the motor to overheat and potentially result in a fire.
The fix
Mfta will notify owners and replace the ground sub harness with a waterproof harness free of charge. The safety recall began on august 4, 2010. Owners may contact mfta at 1-856-467-4500.
