2000–2002 Mazda B-Series Truck recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
