What is wrong
MITSUBISHI FUSO (MFTA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2010 FE83D, FE84D, AND FG84D TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 13, 2007 THROUGH DECEMBER 24, 2009. THE GROUND WIRE ON AFFECTED VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS POSITIONED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT WATER COULD ENTER THE WIRE CASING AND TRAVEL TO THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT CONNECTOR.
What can happen
IF WATER PERMEATES DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION, THE CONNECTOR TERMINALS COULD BECOME CORRODED. THIS CORROSION COULD AFFECT THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR CIRCUIT IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE MOTOR WOULD OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY, CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
MFTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE GROUND SUB HARNESS WITH A WATERPROOF HARNESS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 4, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MFTA AT 1-856-467-4500.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
