What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE BRAKE VACUUM HOSE MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT WALL THICKNESS, ALLOWING THE HOSE TO COLLAPSE DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION.
What can happen
CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION COULD RESTRICT PROPER OPERATION OF THE BRAKE POWER-ASSIST AND COMPROMISE BRAKING PERFORMANCE; OR RESTRICT PROPER OPERATION OF THE EXHAUST BRAKE SYSTEM. EITHER OCCURRENCE COULD LEAD TO COMPROMISED BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE VACUUM HOSE AND WILL REPLACE THE HOSE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 21, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI FUSO AT 877-711-0707.

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.
