Summary

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA) is recalling certain 2019-2021 FEC7T, FECZT, and FEC9T vehicles.

This heat can cause the diaphragm in the pump to crack, resulting in loss of vacuum in the vacuum pump.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the vacuum pump and install exhaust heat shields, free of charge. Interim notification letters were mailed to owners on June 28, 2021. Owners may contact MFTA customer service at 1-877-711-0707.
