What's wrong?
The 2024 Mitsubishi Fuso Rizon FEC7K (E16) and Rizon FEC9K (E18) trucks use vehicle software in the propulsion control system to manage the electric drive. That control unit reads driver inputs, battery state, and operating conditions, then commands the traction motor so the truck can move normally.
On affected trucks, a counter inside the control unit can reach an error state after repeated key cycles during a duty cycle. When that happens, the truck can shut down unexpectedly and lose drive power. Mitsubishi Fuso says the failure cause remains under investigation, but the defect is in vehicle software. Dealers correct it by confirming the software reference numbers and reprogramming the ECUs.
The warning sign is the state of charge gauge dropping to zero. If you see that gauge fall to zero, treat it as a sign the truck is entering the failure condition and arrange service before further use.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Mitsubishi Fuso Rizon FEC7K (E16) or Rizon FEC9K (E18) is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mitsubishi Fuso dealer to schedule the free vehicle-control-unit and instrument-panel-control-unit software update that corrects the control-unit counter error tied to unexpected shutdown and loss of drive power.
- Reference recall number 24V072 when you call, and ask whether the truck needs transport or other precautions before the update.
- Bring any dealer or purchase paperwork for the truck; Mitsubishi Fuso says owner letters were not sent because the affected vehicles had not been sold.
- Avoid work routes and heavy traffic until the update is complete if the truck shows unexpected shutdown or loss of drive power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mitsubishi Fuso technician updates the vehicle control unit and instrument panel control unit software to correct the counter error tied to an unexpected shutdown and loss of drive power. The software update is available now and free under the recall. Mitsubishi Fuso says none of the affected vehicles have been sold, so owner notification letters will not be sent. Dealers handle this work through the normal recall repair process.
