DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
Posted on: 2005-06-29
Description
On certain medium duty trucks, rust build-up on the automatic transmission (a/t) shift linkage may cause the linkage to bind. Rust build-up is accelerated in geographic locations that are situated near large bodies of salt water, or in regions with heavy snow/ice melting compound usage in winter months.
Consequence
The effort required to operate the a/t shift control lever may increase if the linkage binds due to rust build-up. The shift control lever may become inoperative, or the physical shift lever position on the shift lever housing gear indicator may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.
Corrective Action
Dealers will install a modified a/t shift control lever assembly. The recall began on september 26, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
