- Summary
- On certain medium duty trucks, the cylinder head idler gear shaft bolt may have been insufficiently tightened during initial assembly. Continued operation in this condition could cause the bolt to loosen, resulting in abnormal noise from improper gear alignment.
- Consequence
- The bolt could break, causing the engine to stall and not restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will check the idler shaft bolt. If the bolt cannot be removed by hand, a modified idler shaft bolt will be installed. If the bolt is loose enough to be removed by hand, a new idler gear, idler shaft, and a modified idler shaft bolt will be installed. The recall began on December 20, 2005.

Has your Mitsubishi Fuso been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Mitsubishi Fuso dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
