What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks, the clearance between the cab main hook and the surrounding components may be insufficient. Repeated normal cab tilting operation could cause the cab tilt system components to become damaged in the area of the cab main hook.

Possible consequence

If damage occurs, the cab main hook could latch improperly, and in the worst case, the cab could tilt forward during normal vehicle operation. A crash could occur without prior warning.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the cab hook, lock lever and control lever bracket with modified components. The recall began on october 28, 2004. Owners should contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-877-711-0707.
