Mitsubishi Fuso Announces Longer Warranties on Class 4 through 7 Medium-Duty Trucks

LOGAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Mitsubishi Fuso has become the first manufacturer of medium-duty cabover trucks to augment its bumper-to-bumper warranty (36 months, unlimited milage) with a limited 5-year powertrain warranty, available beginning with its new 2006 models.

“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,” said According to Robert McDowell, executive vice president and COO of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America. “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. Additionally, warranties have been extended on Mitsubishi Fuso’s Class 6 and Class 7 FK and FM model medium-duty cabover trucks for 60 months or 250,000 miles from the warranty start date.

The Class 4 and 5 warranty covers all crucial powertrain components, including the engine, Mitsubishi or Eaton transmission (however equipped), clutch housing and pressure plate assembly and rear axel housing and internal parts. The Class 6 and 7 warranty also 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 models, and the front axle housing and internal parts on 4-wheel-drive FG models.

“We’re proud of this new warranty,” says McDowell, “We enjoy high owner loyalty, and we know that the inherent reliability of our vehicles is a large part of that. This warranty helps us reward our customers for their trust.”
