Affects Mitsubishi Fuso FG639, FE649, FE639, FH210, FE640 · 1999–2004 — about 346 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, normal heat emanating from the exhaust pipe may cause the shift linkage installed as part of campaign 2005194 (C1003610) to bind. As a result, the effort required to operate the automatic transmission shift control lever may increase. In the worst case, the shift control lever may become inoperative, or the transmission gear position indicated on the shift lever housing may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission. Correction: Dealers will install a modified shift control lever assembly.
