2008 Mazda Tribute Recalls

The 2008 Mazda Tribute has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a loose shift lever bolt in certain remanufactured automatic transmissions that can cause the lever to disengage, leaving the driver unable to shift and the gear indicator showing the wrong position.

Hybrid models have a separate concern: the coolant pump for the hybrid system can fail, causing the hybrid electronics to overheat and shut down, which produces a stall-like loss of power while driving. On vehicles equipped with the 3.0L V6 engine and cruise control, insufficient clearance between the engine cover and the throttle cable connector can cause the throttle to stick wide open, making the vehicle difficult to slow or stop. There is also a steering issue affecting certain trims: a faulty torque sensor in the electric power steering system can fail to detect steering input and cut off power assist without warning, requiring significantly more physical effort to steer at low speeds.

What can fail

In vehicles with remanufactured automatic transmissions installed as replacement parts, the shift lever bolt may not be tightened to the correct specification. If it loosens, the shift lever can disconnect from the transmission, making the transmission unresponsive to gear selection.

What the fix does

Dealers will inspect the shift lever assembly and bolt, and replace or properly tighten them to correct specifications as needed.
