- Summary
- Mitsubishi fuso is recalling 2,957 my 2008 FE83D, FE84D, FE85D, and FG84D trucks. The bolt holes in the turbocharger bracket, where the turbocharger is affixed, were manufactured with insufficient clearance. Stress is placed on the mounting boss when the bracket is affixed to the turbocharger, due to insufficient clearance between the affixing bolts and bracket holes.
- Consequence
- In this condition, expansion and contraction of the turbocharger housing mounting boss during normal engine operation may cause thermal fatigue of the turbocharger housing. The turbocharger housing may crack, releasing exhaust gases that could cause a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the bracket. The recall began on October 10, 2008. Owners may contact Mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.

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.
