Affected vehicles

Mitsubishi Fuso 1995

Hazard

The rack groove that controls fuel injection quantity in the fuel injection pump has insufficient strength, and the attachment method of the fuel injection pump to the engine is inappropriate. Continued operation at high RPM can cause the rack to fracture, resulting in elevated engine speed and, in the worst case, fire. This recall was previously filed under notification number 1241 on September 22, 2004, but due to partial errors in target vehicle selection, additional vehicles are being added and filed anew.

燃料噴射ポンプの燃料噴射量を制御するラックの切欠き溝の強度が不十分なため、及び燃料噴射ポンプの原動機への取付方法が不適切なため、高回転域での使用を続けると当該ラックが折損し、エンジン回転が上昇して、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。 本件は、平成16年9月22日付「届出番号1241」にてリコール届出を行ったものですが、対象車の選定に一部誤りがあったため、対象車両を追加し、新たに届出するものです。

Remedy

All vehicles: inspect the fuel injection pump part number. Replace matching pumps with injection pumps featuring redesigned rack material and geometry, and add a bracket to the injection pump.
