Mitsubishi Lorry: SSAM module software error may cause lighting and windscreen wipers to fail

Country	European Union
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-07-18
Country of origin	Japan
Manufacturer	Mitsubishi Fuso
Models affected	Canter
Defect	A software error in the SSAM module (central control unit) may cause various lighting systems and the windscreen wipers to stop working. If the lights fail at night or the wipers fail during rain or on wet roads, the driver’s visibility could be severely reduced, potentially making it impossible to stay safely on the road. Additionally, a stationary vehicle might not be seen by following traffic. These situations increase the risk of accidents, including vehicles veering off the road or being hit from behind.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
