What's wrong?
The automatic transmission fluid oil cooler hose on 2012-2015 Mitsubishi Fuso FEC52, FEC72, FEC92, and FGB72 trucks carries transmission fluid between the automatic transmission and the cooler. That fluid helps control transmission temperature while the truck is working. The hose has to hold fluid pressure and keep the fluid inside the powertrain system.
In this recall, the oil cooler hose is the weak point. Mitsubishi Fuso reported that the hose can burst, which opens the fluid circuit instead of keeping automatic transmission fluid contained. The filing does not identify a root cause in the fields provided, so the owner-level issue is the failure mode: the hose breaks open rather than staying sealed.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a dashboard light, a noise, or a change in shifting to tell you the hose is about to burst.

Schedule the recall repair soon and treat transmission problems or fluid loss as a reason to stop and call a Mitsubishi Fuso dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Mitsubishi Fuso dealer once available.
