Mitsubishi Fuso 1990–2004

Hazard

Due to insufficient fatigue strength margin in the front hub against maintenance conditions such as excessive tightening of hub bolts and operating conditions exceeding assumptions such as overloading, cracks may develop near the root of the hub flange when subjected to repeated high-frequency cornering. (Note) A recall notice (Notification No. 1056) was filed on March 24, 2004; however, based on strength verification using newly defined and established strength verification methods, it was determined that countermeasures are necessary for certain vehicles previously excluded from the scope, and this recall notice is being filed accordingly.

ハブボルトの過大締付け等の整備状況や、過積載等の想定を超える稼働条件に対して、フ ロントハブの強度余裕が十分でないため、旋回頻度の高い走行を繰り返した場合等に、ハ ブのフランジ部の付け根付近に亀裂が発生するおそれがある。   (備考) 平成16年3月24日に「届出番号1056」のリコール届出を行ったが、その後、新たに定義・確 立した強度検証手法に基づく強度検討の結果、対象外としていた一部車両についても、対 策が必要との判断に至ったため、本リコール届出を行うものである。

Remedy

Replace the hub with a countermeasure component on all vehicles. However, due to time required for full supply of countermeasure components, users will be notified accordingly, and replacement with countermeasure components will be carried out sequentially as parts supply becomes available.

全車両、ハブを対策品と交換する。 但し、対策品の全数供給に時間を要するため、ユーザにその旨を通知し、部品供給の準備 が整い次第、順次対策品に交換する。
