Has your Mazda been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

1998 Mazda B-Series Truck recalls, newest first

August 7, 2007NHTSA 07V34700076,000 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control

Summary: 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: 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.

Fuel system, gasoline

Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Certain aftermarket fuel filters sold under the purolator brand name, p/n F65277, shipped from January 16 through June 2, 2006, for use on the above listed passenger vehicles.

March 31, 1999NHTSA 99V06200222,000 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control

Summary: Vehicle description: certain 1998-1998 Mazda b-series trucks (B2500, B3000 and B4000) equipped with cruise control and built from January 1998 through March 4, 1999. A cruise control cable can interfere with the speed control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when disengaging the cruise control.
Consequence: If the cruise control is used and this condition is present, a stuck throttle could result, which could potentially result in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the cruise control cables. At the present time, the replacement cables are not available. Customers are being advised not to use the cruise control system until a replacement can be made.

November 6, 1997NHTSA 97V186002191 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary: Vehicle description: light duty 4X2 and 4X4 pickup trucks equipped with 4.0L engines. The flexible section of the chassis mounted fuel line that connects to the engine was routed too close to the exhaust manifold. The line could contact the manifold.
Consequence: This could potentially result in damage to the fuel line, or in some cases, cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will install an additional clip to hold the fuel line in the intended design position.
