Defect:
Vehicle description: light duty 4x2 and 4x4 pickup trucks equipped with 4.0l engines. the flexible section of the chassis mounted fuel line that connects to the engine was routed too close to the exhaust manifold. the line could contact the manifold.
Consequence:
This could potentially result in damage to the fuel line, or in some cases, cause a fuel leak. fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install an additional clip to hold the fuel line in the intended design position.
Notes:
Owner notification is expected to begin december 1, 1997.owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mazda at 1-800-222-5500. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Vehicle description: certain 1998-1998 mazda b-series trucks (b2500, b3000 and b4000) equipped with cruise control and built from january 1998 through march 4, 1999. a cruise control cable can interfere with the speed control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when disengaging the cruise control.
Consequence:
If the cruise control is used and this condition is present, a stuck throttle could result, which could potentially result in a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the cruise control cables. at the present time, the replacement cables are not available. customers are being advised not to use the cruise control system until a replacement can be made.

Defect:
Tire description: firestone wilderness at, size p235/75r15, produced at the decatur, illinois tire plant and all firestone radial atx and radial atx ii tires, size p235/75r15. operation of these tires at low inflation pressures, high speed, and in hot weather, can contribute to separation of the tire tread.
Consequence:

Defect:
Certain aftermarket fuel filters sold under the purolator brand name, p/n f65277, shipped from january 16 through june 2, 2006, for use on the above listed passenger vehicles. due to incorrect design, the quick connectors may not fully seat with the tube interface, even though the person making the connection may believe that the quick connector is fully attached.
Consequence:
Failure of this connection could lead to fuel spillage and, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur.
Correction:
Ufi will notify owners and replace the filters free of charge. the recall began on august 4, 2006. owners may contact ufi filters usa at 800-230-5876.
