A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V282000
- Manufacturer's number: 7614E
- Manufacturer: Mazda North American Operations
- Reported: 2014\-05\-29

## What is wrong

Mazda North American Operations \(Mazda\) is recalling certain model year 2008\-2011 Tribute vehicles manufactured October 5, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input.  As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering \(EPS\) assist.


## What can happen

If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Mazda will notify owners and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module \(PSCM\) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge.  If a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the PSCM when the vehicle is brought in for the recall remedy, the affected components will be replaced, free of charge.  The recall began in July 2014.  Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1\-800\-222\-5500.  Mazda's number for this recall is 7614E.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
