| Description |
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. |
| Consequences |
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. |
| Corrective action |
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. |

2/7/2013 - Dustin
My wife and I are in our late 30's, early 40's. Original owners. We followed the maintenance program ($$) to extend the life of our vehicle. Today I am informed that the crankshaft is out of spec and we need the engine replaced. Popping of the clutch is what can cause the crankshaft / housing to become out of spec. Apparently, I like to 4x4 in Alberta fields and drag race on the local track. Mazda is not interested in finding out why at 119,000km engine failed. Sad day. I used to own a 1976 Duster, 318 V8, and I had to sell due to gas costs. For 10G, I could have rebuilt it with a V6. Sad for me? I am.
