What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible 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.
