Vehicle speed control

NHTSA campaign 07V347000 · reported August 7, 2007 · MAZDA MOTOR CORP · 76,000 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: 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.
The risk: This could result in an underhood fire.
The fix: 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.

Seat belts

NHTSA campaign 00V228002 · reported August 18, 2000 · MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS · 460 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: 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."
