EQUIPMENT
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
A short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
If the fuel hose detaches a fuel leak may result, increasing the risk of a fire.
If the hose bursts, the ATF would leak out. Once a significant amount of fluid is lost, the transmission may become inoperative, increasing the risk of a crash.
Contaminated ATF may cause the transmission to become inoperative resulting in engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Continued use of the parking brake could result in the inability for it to hold the vehicle stationary. This may lead to a truck rollaway increasing the risk of pedestrian injury or a vehicle crash.
Two 2012 MITSUBISHI FUSO FGB72s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
