Affected vehicles
Mitsubishi Fuso 2005–2007
Hazard
Some vehicles have insufficient strength in the heat shield mounting bracket attached to the exhaust pipe. As a result, the exhaust pipe and heat shield resonate during low-speed engine operation, causing cracks to develop at the mounting point. If use continues in this condition, in the worst case the heat shield may detach while driving and obstruct other traffic.

排気管に取り付けている遮熱板取付部の強度が不足しているものがある。そのため、原動機の低速回転時に排気管と遮熱板が共振し、取付部に亀裂が発生し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、走行中に遮熱板が脱落し、他の交通の妨げとなるおそれがある。
Remedy
Remove the heat shield from all vehicles.
