What Happened
The brake master cylinder reservoir cap in your Tribute is a small part that helps keep brake fluid from leaking out. In some 2001-2002 models, this cap can crack and leak fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If brake fluid gets on the wiring for your anti-lock brakes, it could cause a fire, especially when you're driving. This is a serious risk that could lead to a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will replace the faulty cap and update your ABS system to prevent any issues, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, and until then, park your vehicle outside to minimize the risk.
