The problem
On certain trucks, the door wiring harness interferes with the turn signal and hazard lamp wiring harness due to improper routing.
The risk
Repeated opening and closing of the doors could break the turn signal and hazard lamp wiring harness, causing the lamps to become inoperative.
The fix
Dealers will add protective tubing at the door wiring harness grommet, install a protective cap on the turn signal and hazard lamp connector and repair any wiring harness damage. The recall began on november 23, 2005. Owners may contact mitsubishi fuso at 1-856-467-4500.
