It's dosfsck. However, dosfsck is rather unmaintained and I'm not sure how good it actually is at repairing damage (though I've only had to use it once in the last decade, and it worked OK then). It might be necessary to fix it on a DOS box, or rescue as much data as possible and reformat the FAT partition...
