Original — What Happened
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Tribute vehicles manufactured March 3, 2009, to May 26, 2011. On vehicles with a 3.0L engine, the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM) may crack, causing a fuel leak.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Original — Remedy
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the FDM flange with one that has a redesigned fuel supply port, free of charge. Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices informing owners of the safety recall were mailed on December 23, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts are in stock. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 0416J.
The steering torque sensor in your Tribute is like a messenger that tells your power steering system how you're steering. But in some 2008-2011 models, this sensor might not be sending the right messages.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor fails, you'll need to work harder to steer at low speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash — especially in tight spaces like parking lots or intersections.
Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will update the software in your vehicle's power steering and instrument cluster systems for free. If there are any problems with the sensor or the power steering control module, they'll replace those parts for you too, at no cost.

Original — What Happened
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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
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.
Original — Remedy
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.

Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will swap out the faulty wheel bearing with a correctly sized one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should get in touch with your dealer or Timken customer service at 1-866-984-6536 to schedule the fix.
