The problem
ON SOME HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, THE VACUUM PUMP SHAFT BREAKS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT HEAT TREATMENT.
Risk
IF THE SHAFT BREAKS, BRAKING DISTANCE WOULD BE EXTENDED DUE TO THE LACK OF BRAKE BOOSTER FUNCTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP SHAFT ASSEMBLY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 15, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK AT 1-856-467-4500.
