Mitsubishi Fuso recalls eCanter and Canter vehicles due to safety issues

Mitsubishi Fuso Ireland has announced a voluntary recall for specific models of their eCanter and Canter commercial vehicles due to identified safety hazards. For the eCanter, the Active Side Guard Assist (ASGA) sensor may be obstructed by the vehicle's body or added accessories, which could lead to false warnings and a higher risk of accidents if road users or obstacles are not detected properly. This recall affects 16 vehicles produced between June 23, 2023, and April 30, 2024, in the Republic of Ireland.

Additionally, certain Mitsubishi Fuso Canter vehicles are being recalled due to a software error in the SSAM module, which controls various lighting devices and windscreen wipers. This malfunction could result in lights failing during dark conditions or wipers not functioning in rain, significantly reducing visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. This recall impacts 66 vehicles produced between July 11, 2024, and December 9, 2022.

Another recall for the Canter involves potential issues with rear axle leaf springs that may have been made from substandard materials. If these springs fail, fragments could fall onto the road, posing a danger to other drivers. This affects 37 vehicles produced from January 8, 2015, to October 31, 2019.

Affected customers will receive direct communication from Mitsubishi Fuso Ireland, advising them to schedule an appointment with their local dealer or authorized repairer for necessary repairs or part replacements. If owners believe their vehicle may be impacted, they are encouraged to contact their nearest Mitsubishi Fuso dealer for further assistance.
