- The defect
- Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Fuso FEC9T gas trucks. The front leaf spring rear-lower shackle bolts may be loose.
- What it can cause
- Loose bolts can detach and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts, and replace any damaged shackles as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 952 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mitsubishi Fuso vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 5 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V297000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 20V646000 (engine and engine cooling), 20V645000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. with NHTSA on July 29, 2021 as campaign 21V585000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
