The problem
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 FEC72 vehicles manufactured November 8, 2013, to January 28, 2014, and 2012-2015 FEC92 vehicles manufactured April 22, 2011, to February 1, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the lower engine timing chain bolt may have been insufficiently tightened during assembly.
The risk
A timing chain bolt that was not properly tightened may result in an engine oil leak, possibly causing the engine to seize, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the lower engine timing chain bolt to the proper torque, free of charge. The recal is expected to begin in late June 2015. Owners may call MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707. MFTA's number for this recall C1007710.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
