Summary
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America (MFTA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, and FGB72 trucks; manufactured from April 8, 2011, through October 16, 2012. The parking brake cable nut may have been insufficiently tightened during assembly. As a result, the parking brake cable could loosen with each operation of the parking brake.
Consequence
Continued use of the parking brake could result in the inability for it to hold the vehicle stationary. This may lead to a truck rollaway increasing the risk of pedestrian injury or a vehicle crash.
Remedy
MFTA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the parking brake nut, free of charge. The safety recall began on December 19, 2012. Owners may contact MFTA at 1-856-467-4500.
