Campaign:
12V357000 on 07/26/2012
Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Affected:
217,500
Defect:
Mazda is recalling certain model year 2001 through 2006, and 2008, tribute vehicles equipped with 3.0l v6 engines and speed control. inadequate clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable connector could result in a stuck throttle when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost-fully depressed. this risk exists regardless of whether or not speed control (cruise control) is used.
Consequence:
A stuck throttle may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop or slow the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Correction:
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles by increasing the engine cover clearance, free of charge. remedy parts are now available. the safety recall began on september 13, 2012. owners may contact mazda customer assistance center at 1-800-222-5500, option #6.
Notes:
Mazda's recall campaign number is 6812g.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Component:
Steering:electric power assist system
Manufactured:
10/04/2006 - 09/10/2010
Affected:
33,000
Defect:
Mazda north american operations (mazda) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 tribute vehicles manufactured october 5, 2006, through september 11, 2010. the affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. as a result, the system could remove the electric power steering (eps) assist.
Consequence:
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Mazda will notify owners and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module (pscm) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge. if a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the pscm when the vehicle is brought in for the recall remedy, the affected components will be replaced, free of charge. the recall began in july 2014. owners may contact mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. mazda's number for this recall is 7614e.

Defect:
Mazda north american operations (mazda) is recalling certain model year 2008 mazda tribute hybrid vehicles manufactured october 10, 2006, to may 23, 2008. the coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail, resulting in the hybrid electronics overheating.
Consequence:
If the hybrid electronics system overheats, it may shut down the powertrain, resulting in a stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the original motor electronics coolant (mec) pump with an improved brushless pump, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin in mid-november, 2014. owners may contact mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5000. mazda's number for this recall is 7814i.

Campaign:
15E045000 on 06/02/2015
Component:
Suspension:front:wheel bearing
Affected:
576
Defect:
The timken company (timken) is recalling certain aftermarket front wheel bearings, part number 510072, sold from january 22, 2015, to may 21, 2015, to be used as service parts on 2001-2012 ford escape, 2001-2011 mazda tribute, and 2005-2011 mercury mariner vehicles. the affected wheel bearings have incorrect dimensions of a 42mm bore, 76mm outer dimension, and 39mm width, instead of a 42mm bore, 78mm outer dimension and a 45mm width.
Consequence:
Use of an incorrectly sized wheel bearing can adversely affect the braking and steering of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Timken has begun notifying distributors who will offer purchasers replacement wheel bearings, free of charge. the recall began on may 21, 2015. owners may contact timken customer service at 1-866-984-6536.

Component:
Power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)
Manufactured:
02/08/2007 - 04/21/2008
Affected:
4
Defect:
Mazda north american operations (mazda) is recalling certain model year 2008 tribute vehicles manufactured february 9, 2007 to april 22, 2008. the affected vehicles have had their cd4e transmission replaced with remanufactured one that was rebuilt between june 11, 2015 through july 15, 2015. these service repair part transmissions have a shift lever bolt that may not be properly tightened. as a result, the shift control lever could disengage from the transmission without warning.
Consequence:
If the shift lever disengages from the transmission, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the gear selection indicator may show that the transmission is in the "park" position, but the vehicle transmission may not actually be in the "park" gear position. if the vehicle is not in the "park" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. a vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Correction:
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission and if necessary tighten the manual shift lever bolt or replace the manual shift lever assembly, free of charge. the recall began on november 30, 2015. owners may contact mazda customer experience center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. mazda's number for this recall is 8815j.
