Gear change issue leads to Fuso Shogun recall

More than 1,000 units of the popular Daimler truck model have been recalled ranging from 2019 to 2022

Daimler Trucks Australia has recalled more than 1,000 Fuso Shogun models due to a manufacturing issue that may lead to drivers being unable to change gears.

Daimler says 1,065 units of the Fuso Shogun range, spanning from the FV7 and FP7 models to the FU7 and FS7 variants, have been recalled, ranging from trucks made between 2019 and 2022.

“The alternator wiring harness may have been assembled with insufficient clearance and could become damaged,” the recalls says.

Daimler is asking all owners of the affected vehicles to contact their nearest authorised Daimler Truck dealership to book an appointment and have the rectification carried out free of charge.
