Affects Mitsubishi Fuso FG84D, FE85D, FE84D · 2006–2007 — about 438 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the brake vacuum hose may have been manufactured with insufficient wall thickness, allowing the hose to collapse during normal vehicle operation. If this happens, brake power assist could become inoperative, leading to increased vehicle stopping distance. Note: on the FE84D and FG84D models, the hose provides vacuum to the brake booster. On the FE85D, the hose provides vacuum to the exhaust brake system. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the vacuum hose.
