What This Recall Means

Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

What Happened
The engine cover on your Tribute is the part that protects the engine's underside. In some older models, it's not quite clear of the speed control cable, which could get stuck and cause a problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If the throttle gets stuck, your vehicle could speed up uncontrollably and be hard to stop. This could lead to a serious crash, injury, or even a fatal accident.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will fix this by adjusting the engine cover to give it more clearance, and it's completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
