- Reported: 2005\-06\-29

## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

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.


## The remedy

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.
