Mitsubishi Fuso 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.
The short version
MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK OF AMERICA, INC. reported a problem with the service brakes, hydraulic. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
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.
MFTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE GROUND SUB HARNESS WITH A WATERPROOF HARNESS FREE OF CHARGE.
