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.
Risk and remedy
Risk
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.
The Timken Company (Timken) is recalling certain aftermarket front wheel bearings, part number 510072, sold from January 22, 2015, to May 21, 2015, to be used as service parts on 2001-2012 Ford Escape, 2001-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner vehicles. The affected wheel bearings have incorrect dimensions of a 42mm bore, 76mm outer dimension…
Risk and remedy
Risk
Use of an incorrectly sized wheel bearing can adversely affect the braking and steering of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy

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.
Risk and remedy
Risk
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.

Everytime I fill the car up with gas it does this thing where I lose power when I stop or when I turn the wheel. So I have to stop and start the car. Its very dangerous because it has cut off while I was making a turn. We have tried to fix it several times. We replaced the fuel pump and that helped for a month or two but then it goes right back to cutting off after it is filled up with gas.

While driving at low speed (less than 50 mph) truck experienced brake loss. Was able to slow down and have no accident. Towed truck to mechanic and the next day brakes worked fine. Took truck to both AAA and to Mazda dealership for repair and no one can duplicate the issue. No instrument lights came on and no code was given for additional information. It has been stated that ABS Master cylinder and brake booster have been tested as well as the relays and fuses. This isnt the first time this has happened but the pedal has never stayed as mushy or required to go to the ground as long as it had this time.

TL* the contact owns a 2010 mazda tribute. While pulling into a parking lot, the electric power steering failed and an unknown indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact believed that there were faulty components in the steering wheel. The contact was able to pull into a parking spot and had the vehicle towed home. Capital mazda of cary (525 crossroads blvd, cary, nc 27511, (919) 859-2000) suggested to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing at the contact's expense.

While the car was in use and running, the timing chain cover failed resulting in the serpentine belt tensioner coming detached. The serpentine tensioner mount broke off the timing chan cover, resulting in the loss of all loads driven from the serpentine belt. This failure presents a severe safety issue as without the serpentine belt properly functioning the alternator will not generate electricity, the battery will be drained and then the electric power steering will fail. An average driver will not be able to control the vehicle without power steering and brake assistance. Until almost all of the oil has been thrown from the engine or the battery dies, there IS no warning to the driver -- the driver knows nothing of this failure until the low oil pressure, alternator or check engine light comes on. the vehicle had only 62156 miles when this extraordinary failure occurred.

2010 mazda tribute with 57K on it just died while doing 80 down the freeway, had to get it towed. It simply shutoff. I think its the fuel pump but I am not really sure. Plugged it into a scanner and no codes. It started up after the tow. The googles says this IS common in the tribute/ ford escapes. Not safe at all.

Fuel fill neck diagnostic code po457 occurred and the check engine light came on which seemed to cause the vehicle to sputter, and to have loss of power while driving. Upon inspection there IS nothing wrong with the part. Upon a google search other have had the same problem and it appears they recalled this same vehicle with the 3.0 engine (mine has the 2.5).

My 17 year old daughter was pulling out of a parking lot to cross 4 lanes of traffic and lost all acceleration! Stopping in the middle of the highway. I was in the turning lane watching a semi and 20 cars headed straight for my daughter. luckily she thought quick enough to put the car in reverse, since she was on a slight hill, she rolled back into the parking lot. ford has issued an extended warranty for the throttle body on the escapes (sister to the tribute) for this very issue. mazda has only issued a special bulletin that the tribute can loose acceleration, but did not say how to fix it. I found all this information after that fact that my daughter almost died!!! we had the vehicle at a mazda dealership the friday & saturday before. they apparently did not know about the issue and all they did was clean out the throttle body, and said that should take care of it. Why did mazda not have to do the same as ford? we should not have to wait until someone dies. it IS a very serious problem with these vehicles! Consumers with these autos need to be notified!!! ford has not notified anyone either, we also have a 2011 ford escape which has not had the issue, but we are taking it to the dealership today just to check it. *tr

Was driving on large blvd thru town at approx. 45+ mpg, the car all of a sudden quit accelerating, the wrench light came on, all power to car was essentially loss and it began convulsing abruptly as a I maneuvered it off the road to a safe stopping spot. I called aaa and had it towed to dealer. dealer had the car for 3 days, could never find anything or get it to reproduce what I experienced, so I was charged the $120 diagnostic fee without it being fixed and sent home with my fingers crossed. the car behaved for awhile, but then it started doing it again on and off over the next 6 months. because of the $120 fee for nothing I had been hesitant to go back until recently when I was on the freeway (a couple of times) and the car did the same thing! Luckily I was in the slow lane and could pull over quickly, turn off the car, count to 10 and then start it up again and go. these last few times it was several times a day, so I took it back to the dealer (car IS supposedly certified) as of this writing they have had the car again for 3 days, and just now, at the end of the work day have decided it IS the throttle body that needs replacing. it IS "conveniently" not listed in the "covered components" of the certified warranty. its going to cost $500+ to get my car back + the cost of the rental car I've had to get because they don't have loaners, just a shuttle, which does me no good on a daily basis. *Tr

First occurrence was while backing out of a parking spot and put the vehicle into drive. I accelerated and the car hesitated, chugged, the wrench light on dash illuminated with very slow forward momentum. turned vehicle off and back on with no problem until the end of the parking row when I stopped for traffic, it chugged and wouldn't accelerate, wrench indicator on again. turned vehicle off and coasted to a parking spot. restarted a few minutes later with no problems for almost a week. next time it happened I accelerated from a stop sign and only had crawling speed no matter what I did with the gas pedal. the wrench light was again on with the vehicle chugging and hesitating. due to parked vehicles I had to drive almost the length of the block in this condition before having a place to pull over and move out of the long line of traffic I had created. once again after a brief waiting period I restarted the vehicle, the wrench light went out and it has been driving okay. *tr

While stopped at a traffic light the vehicle began to surge as if the accelerator was being pressed and released, the car started running rough and the engine light came on. After driving through the intersection the car ran normally for several weeks. The car has repeatedly had this symptom along with failure to respond to the accelerator and shutting off. The last incident happened on march 9TH of 2014 while turning right in an intersection the car failed to respond to the accelerator and just quit. I allowed the car to drift to a center area of the road and was able to restart it. The dealer has once told us we were probably over filling (topping off) the tank, we have made sure that we let the pump stop after if clicks off the first time yet the incidents continue and at an increased rate. The car has been taken to the dealer a second time to attempt to diagnose this issue. *tr

- 11006987In accordance with Federal regulations, follow the procedure listed below when replacing a speedometer. NOTE: Tampering with a motor vehicle odometer is strictly prohibited by Federal, and State laws. It is the dealers responsibility to comply with Federal, State, and local laws concerning odometer and related documentation requirements when providing a repair or replacement. Mazda vehicles are manufactured with tamper-proof speedometers. When a speedometer is replaced, the new speedometer will read zero (0) miles. This procedure is extremely important to accurately represent actual vehicle mileage. Prior to speedometer removal, complete the information required on the Speedometer Replacement Label. Labels can only be ordered through Mazda eStore. In an effort to achieve a higher level of Customer Experience and retain the value of Mazdas vehicles, MNAO Warranty Operations is allowing all Mazda dealers to utilize a third party, SPECMO Enterprises, Inc., for Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) odometer setting service. With the use of SPECMOs services, it is possible that the odometer will be set between 10 to 31 miles over the odometer mileage at the time of replacement for both warranty and customer pay repairs. Please make sure that the customer is aware that there may be a slight variance to the odometer, in which case the customer may have to accept the slightly higher mileage. Since odometer setting service is not part of the warranty repair, it is not warrantable nor required, but optional. However, Mazda Warranty policy provides after- warranty assistance (AWA) or DSA that can be utilized to cover this service expense.

- 10206002Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Cooler and Lines Flushing Procedure: Automatic Transaxle/Transmission (A/T) oil cooler and lines must be power flushed completely before an overhauled or replacement A/T is installed (except SKYACTIV-DRIVE). The most common cause of repeat A/T failures is lack of lubrication to the front and rear planetary gears. This is usually caused by an accumulation of metal particles and debris (from a previous A/T failure) on the internal mesh type baffle of the oil cooler. Power flushing will remove the restriction by back flushing, followed by forward flushing to dislodge a restriction, then back flushing again. This will in turn ensure full ATF flow for the transmission when it is operating.
