2.4 Product safety

Both the vehicle manufacturer and the body manufac-
turer must always ensure that they introduce their 
scopes into the market in a safe condition and that 
third parties are not at risk of any safety hazard. If this 
is not adhered to they may be subject to civil, criminal 
and public law consequences. Every manufacturer is 
liable for the products it manufactures.

From this, it follows that the vehicle body/conversion 
manufacturer therefore also bears responsibility for 
the following:

• the operating and road safety of the body
• the operating and road safety of parts and modifi-

cations

• testing and maintaining the operating and handling 

safety of the vehicle after the body/equipment is 
mounted (the body and/or equipment must not 
have a negative effect on the driving, braking or 
steering characteristics of the vehicle)

• influences of parts on or modifications to the 

chassis

• consequential damage resulting from the body, 

attachment, equipment or modification

• consequential damage resulting from retrofitted 

electrical and electronic systems

• maintaining the operational reliability and freedom 

of movement of all moving parts of the chassis 
after the body/equipment is mounted (e.g. axles, 
springs, propeller shafts, steering, gearbox linkage, 
etc.) even in the case of diagonal torsion between 
the chassis and the bodies

2.4.1

Guarantee of traceability

Hazards in your body/equipment which become 
known after delivery may necessitate supplementary 
measures in the market (customer notification, warn-
ings, recalls). In order to make these measures as effi-
cient as possible, your product must be traceable after 
delivery.

For this purpose and to enable federal or state vehicle 
registers to be used for deter-mining which owners are 
affected, we advise you to promptly file the serial 
number/identification number of your equipment/
add-on part linked to the vehicle identification number 
for the truck in your databases. Similarly, it is also 
advisable to store the addresses of your customers for 
this purpose and to grant subse-quent purchasers the 
opportunity to register.

Binding ruling

The MITSUBISHI FUSO Brand Trademark Directive 
governs the use of trademarks by body manufacturers 
on integrated bodies mounted on Canter FE and FG 
chassis. MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPORA-
TION reserves the right to prohibit the body 
manufacturer from using MITSUBISHI FUSO 
trademarks in the event of any violations to this body/
equipment mounting directive, including the 
trademark directive.
