I WENT TO A GAS STATION TO FUEL MY TRUCK. FUEL STARTED POURING FROM THE BOTTOM MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK JUST AS THE TANK REACHED ITS FULLEST CAPACITY. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INCIDENT OF FUEL LEAKING BEFORE THE TANK REACHED ITS FULLEST CAPACITY. NOR WAS THERE ANY PRIOR SIMILAR EXPERIENCE BEFORE THIS DATE WHEN FILLING THE TANK TO ITS FULLEST CAPACITY. THE FUEL WAS NOT LEAKING FROM ANY WHERE NEAR THE FUEL CAP AREA. IT MAY HAVE BEEN COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK (UN-CONFIRMED).*AK
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUSED WIRING HARNESS. AN INTERIM NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2007, DIRECTING THEM TO HAVE THE SPEED DEACTIVATION CONTROL SWITCH DISCONNECTED TEMPORARILY. A SECOND NOTIFICATION LETTER TO OWNERS WAS IN FEBRUARY 2008 ADVISING THEM TO RETURN TO DEALERS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE REPAIR PART. OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES WHO DID NOT RECEIVE A PHASE 2 NOTICE AND HAVE NOT HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED WILL BE NOTIFIED BEGINNING AUGUST 6, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MAZDA AT 1-800-222-5500.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY BUILD DATE CODES ARE WITHIN THE SUSPECT RANGE. THOSE WITHIN THE SUSPECT DATE CODE RANGE WILL BE REPLACED.
