| Defect Summary | 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 Summary | 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 Summary | Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles by increasing the engine cover clearance, free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on, or before, august 6, 2012. remedy parts are expected to be available in mid-august 2012. until then dealers will disconnect the speed control cable as an interim remedy, if parts are not available at the time of an owner's service appointment. owners may contact mazda customer assistance center at 1-800-222-5500, option #6. | |||||||||||||||

| My tribute is a v-6 3.0l and the vehicle was manufactured 11-04 per driver's door sticker. problem-- after leaving my house and driving down my rural road, i had noticed the vehicle speed stayed the same (approx 40 mph) even after letting up on the gas pedal. the cruise control was off. so i had did a quick tap on the gas pedal to see if the constant speed would stop and allow the vehicle to slow down. the vehicle did respond and slowed down. this happened to me on three different occasions and all on the same road and in the same area. *tr | |||
