In addition to its base 36-month, unlimited mileage, limited bumper-to-bumper
warranty, Mitsubishi Fuso has extended warranty coverage on the powertrain components
of its new 2006 class 4 and class 5 FE and FG models to 5 years or 175,000 miles.
Logan Township, NJ, MAY 16, 2005 — Mitsubishi
Fuso has become the first manufacturer of medium duty cabover
trucks to augment its bumper-to-bumper warranty (36 months,
unlimited mileage) with a limited 5-year powertrain warranty,
available beginning with its new 2006 models. According to
Robert E. McDowell, Executive Vice President and COO of Mitsubishi
Fuso Truck of America (MFTA), “The primary purpose
of this new 5-year limited  powertrain
warranty is to demonstrate to our customers our commitment
to quality in a way that benefits them directly. At the same
time, we’ve thoroughly
assessed our vehicle performance, reliability and manufacturing
integrity, and we’ve concluded that offering the new
limited 5-year warranty will also give us a definite competitive
advantage in the medium duty commercial truck market.”
Mitsubishi Fuso’s new limited 5-year powertrain warranty
extends coverage on the most important components of its
class 4 and class 5 FE and FG model medium duty cabover trucks
for a full 60 months or 175,000 miles from warranty start
date. And it covers all crucial powertrain components, including
the engine, Aisin automatic transmission or Mitsubishi manual
transmission (however equipped), clutch housing and pressure
plate assembly, rear axle housing and internal parts on all
FE models, plus the front axle housing and internal parts
on 4-wheel-drive FG models.
There are limitations or exclusions to its bumper-to-bumper
and powertrain warranties, which are not necessarily limited
to, but include the expected list of fluids and filters,
normal wear items like tires, brake and clutch linings and
wiper blades, and custom truck bodies, plus failures due
to abuse, accident, improper maintenance and the like. The
full warranty details and limitations are available from
Mitsubishi Fuso authorized dealers.
“We’re proud of this new warranty,” says
McDowell, “and we believe our customers will recognize
what it says about the quality of new Mitsubishi Fuso trucks.”
