Mitsubishi Fuso will rewrite instrument-cluster software on 3,115 eCanter trucks in Japan

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus filed a recall with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on 12 November covering 3,115 eCanter electric trucks, according to the company’s recall notice. The recall, number 5908, began on 13 November.

The notice says that because the software in the electronic control unit of the electric parking brake is inappropriate, the orange parking-brake warning lamp in the meter cluster does not light at key-on when the EV system is started, and that this does not comply with Japan’s vehicle safety standards. It describes the lamp failing only at that moment.

As the remedy, Fuso will rewrite the meter cluster on all affected vehicles with software to a corrected specification. The notice does not say whether the work will be done over the air; it says dealers will contact owners.

The recall covers five type designations of the eCanter built between 27 March 2023 and 22 December 2025. The largest, ZAB-FEAVK, accounts for 2,949 of the trucks.

Fuso filed two other software recalls in Japan in October, covering 31,711 trucks.
