THE PASSENGER'S AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN ONE 130 POUND PERSON SEATS ON THE SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE WERE RUDE AND TRY TO CONVINCE US THAT IS 'NORMAL DEPEND HOW YOU SEAT..' (THE WEIGHT LIMIT TO ACTIVATE SENSOR, ACCORDING TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES, WAS 60 POUNDS, 90 POUNDS, AND 98.5 POUNDS ??? !!!). THE CAR HAS BEEN PURCHASED AS A NEW IN ONE ONTARIO'S DEALERSHIP AND IT IS DRIVEN AND REGISTERED IN ONTARIO (IT IS MY WIFE'S CAR). I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. *TR
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Tribute vehicles manufactured March 3, 2009, to May 26, 2011. On vehicles with a 3.0L engine, the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM) may crack, causing a fuel leak.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the FDM flange with one that has a redesigned fuel supply port, free of charge. Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices informing owners of the safety recall were mailed on December 23, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts are in stock. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 0416J.
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Tribute vehicles manufactured October 5, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module (PSCM) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge. If a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the PSCM when the vehicle is brought in for the recall remedy, the affected components will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7614E.
