- Summary
- On certain trucks, the cylinder head idler gear bushing may have been improperly machined, causing excessive stress on the cylinder head idler gear shaft. Continued operating in this condition could cause the idler gear shaft flange to break and generate abnormal engine noise or engine oil leaks.
- Consequence
- The engine could stall and would not restart increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- On vehicles with less than 15,000 miles, if the idler gear and bushing assembly, idler gear shaft and bolt will be replaced. If the mileage is more than 15,000 miles, the inside diameter of the idler gear bushing will be measured and if the bushing measures more than 32.043MM (1.262"), the idler gear and bushing assembly, idler gear shaft and bolt will be replaced.

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.
