Mazda Recalls

                Mazda has issued recalls on two of their vehicles in the last couple months. The vehicles affected by these recalls are the 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute and the brand new 2017 Mazda6.

                The 2017 Mazda6, is being recalled for a turn signal malfunction. Only models with the optional accessory foglights are included in the recall. Mazda says that it installed the wrong combination switch. The result of this mistake is that the turn signals may not be canceled with a turn of the wheel, and thus, the driver may be going along with a turn signal on unknowingly. Only 180 vehicles are being recalled for this mistake.

               

                The Mazda Tribute has two different recalls for two separate sets of years. First the 2008-2011 models years are being recalled for a failure in the electric power steering assist feature.  Mazda dealers will update the software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module. If a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the power steering control module when the vehicle is brought in for the repair, the affected components will be replaced for free.  33,000 Mazda Tributes are affected in this recall, these Tributes were manufactured October 5, 2006 through September 11, 2010.

                The second Mazda Tribute recall is much more serious. The 2010 and 2011 Mazda Tribute crossover that have the 3.0-liter engine, run the risk that the Fuel Delivery Module may crack and leak gasoline. That could lead to a fire. On the approximately 1,000 vehicles this defect is found on Mazda will replace the part with a redesigned one starting around December 15th.
