Affected vehicles
Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great 2017–2021
Hazard
In air-suspension-equipped large trucks (4-axle vehicles), the tandem propeller shaft (propeller shaft between the rear-front and rear-rear axles) has improper length settings. When the tandem propeller is fully compressed, the spline shaft pushes against the plug, causing plug detachment, which may affect other traffic.

エアサス仕様の大型トラック（４軸車）において、タンデムペラ（後前軸と後後軸間のプロペラシャフト）の長さ設定が不適切なため、タンデムペラが最も縮んだ際にスプラインシャフトがプラグを押してしまい、プラグが脱落し他の交通に影響を及ぼすおそれがある。
Remedy
All vehicles will be fitted with a resin band to prevent plug detachment on the tandem propeller as an interim measure. The tandem propeller will be replaced with a corrected unit once parts become available.
