A BOLT (MAZDA #10) HOLDING THE CALIPER ASSEMBLY OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM FELL OFF AFTER ONLY 280 MILES OF DRIVING, LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT LOW SPEED (25 MILES/HR), OTHERWISE A CATASTROPHIC RESULTS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE'S FRONT-PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE SKIDDED (SINGLE-WHEEL LOCKED) ABOUT 15 FEET BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP. DRIVER HAS PICKED UP THE LOOSE BOLT FROM THE ROAD AND PRESENTED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. CONGRESSIONAL MAZDA AT ROCKVILLE, MD HAS INSPECTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM, SECURED CALIPER ASSEMBLY AND REINSTALLED THE LOOSE BOLT. THE VEHICLE OWNER WAS TOLD THAT THE LOOSE BOLT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ASSEMBLY FAILURE AT THE FACTORY. THE DUNCAN MAZDA AT BLACKSBURG, VA (WHERE THE NEW VEHICLE PURCHASED) HAS REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND TIRE. THE ACCIDENT HAS CAUSED THE OWNER AND HIS FAMILY TO STAY INVOLUNTARILY OUT OF TOWN FOR 36 HOURS DUE TO INABILITY TO OBTAIN DEALER SERVICES OVER THE WEEKEND DAYS. PHONE NUMBER OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS OF MAZDA USA (800-222-5500) WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GO THROUGH. AFTER MORE THAN TWO HOURS OF TRYING, THE CASE WAS ORALLY REPORTED TO MAZDA USA ON JULY 2, 2001. THE CASE WAS AGAIN REPORTED TO DAVID DUNCAN, GENERAL MANAGER OF MAZDA DEALER AT BLACKSBURG, VA ON JULY 3, 2001.*AK
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTUATOR CABLE MAY BE BROKEN DUE TO INSUFFICIENT STRENGTH (GROUP 1). ALSO INCLUDED ARE CERTAIN 2000-2001 MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL BUILT BETWEEN MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 2001, THAT HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL REPAIRED AND POSSIBLY HAD A DEFECTIVE CABLE INSTALLED DURING THAT REPAIR (GROUP 2).
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE BROKEN ACTUATOR CABLE MAY BE OUT OF POSITION AND COULD INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE ACCELERATOR CABLE, PREVENTING A DECREASE IN ENGINE SPEED WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACTUATOR CABLE. OWNER NOTIFICATION FOR VEHICLES INVOLVED IN GROUP 1 BEGAN ON JULY 7, 2004. OWNER NOTIFICATION FOR VEHICLES INVOLVED IN GROUP 2 BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT MAZDA AT 1-800-222-5500.
