What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks, the brake vacuum hose may have been manufactured with insufficient wall thickness, allowing the hose to collapse during normal vehicle operation.

Possible consequence

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.

Remedy

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.
