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 6 and class 7 FK and FM models to 5 years or 250,000 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 limited 5-year powertrain
warranty is to demonstrate our commitment to quality in a
way that benefits our customers 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 6 and class 7 FK and FM model medium duty cabover trucks
for a full 60 months or 250,000 miles from warranty start
date. And it covers all crucial powertrain components, including
the engine, Mitsubishi or Eaton manual transmission (however
equipped), clutch housing and pressure plate assembly, and
rear axle housing and internal
parts.
There are limitations or exclusions to its class 6 and class
7 bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties, which are not
necessarily limited to, but include the Allison automatic
transmission (covered by Allison’s manufacturer’s
warranty); as well as the expected list of fluids and filters;
normal wear items like tires, brake and clutch linings and
wiper blades; 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, “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.”
