2001 Mitsubishi Fuso FM617 recalls
Recall 04V-477: Suspension
Problem: On certain trucks using an f060t or f070t front axle, the front wheel hub outer bearing lock nut may have been improperly tightened during assembly, and an insufficient amount of grease may have been applied to the outer bearing.
Risk: These conditions could result in the outer bearing generating excessive heat and/or breaking, causing the vehicle to become disabled. The excessive heat could cause a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the inner and outer front wheel hub bearings, and replace any bearing with signs of damage. The recall began on october 28, 2004. Owners should contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
Recall 04V-437: Interior Lighting
Problem: On certain trucks, the rebound cushion may stick to the hook hinge bracket, due to improper rubber composition of the cushion. This condition could result in the hook pin bracket remaining in the up (Cab closed) position when the cab latch is unlocked. With the hook pin bracket in the up position, the cab tilt lock switch remains closed, improperly indicating that the cab latch is locked.
Risk: If the cab latch is unlocked for any reason, the instrument panel cab lock indicator will not notify the driver that the cab tilt lock mechanism is in the unlocked position. A crash could occur without prior warning.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rebound cushion with a modified component and adjust the cable tilt lock switch and bottom bracket at the rear cab mount. The recall began on october 28, 2004. Owners should contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-877-711-0707.
