DEFECT #2 - INTERIOR LIGHTING

Posted on: 2004-09-10
Description
On certain trucks, the rebound cushion may stick to the hook hinge bracket, due to improper rubber composition of the cushion.  This condition could result in the hook pin bracket remaining in the up (cab closed) position when the cab latch is unlocked.  With the hook pin bracket in the up position, the cab tilt lock switch remains closed, improperly indicating that the cab latch is locked.

If the cab latch is unlocked for any reason, the instrument panel cab lock indicator will not notify the driver that the cab tilt lock mechanism is in the unlocked position.  A crash could occur without prior warning.  

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the rebound cushion with a modified component and adjust the cable tilt lock switch and bottom bracket at the rear cab mount.  The recall began on october 28, 2004.  Owners should contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-877-711-0707.
