The problem

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 FEC52 vehicles manufactured February 3, 2011, to March 31, 2015, and 2012-2013 FEC72 and FEC92 vehicles manufactured February 3, 2011, to January 9, 2013. The affected vehicles have brake pad shims that may rust or corrode after exposure to snow and ice melting chemicals that have been applied to roadways.

The risk

Rust or corrosion will result in swelling of the shims causing an increased brake pedal stroke. The extra brake travel may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will replace any steel brake pad shims with stainless steel shims, free of charge. The recall began on October 6, 2015. Owners may call MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707. MFTA's number for this recall is C1008010.

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.
