## What is wrong

Mazda North American Operations \(Mazda\) is recalling certain model year 2008 Mazda Tribute Hybrid vehicles manufactured October 10, 2006, to May 23, 2008.  The coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail, resulting in the hybrid electronics overheating.


## What can happen

If the hybrid electronics system overheats, it may shut down the powertrain, resulting in a stall\-like condition, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the original Motor Electronics Coolant \(MEC\) Pump with an improved brushless pump, free of charge.  The recall began November 5, 2014.  Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1\-800\-222\-5500.  Mazda's number for this recall is 7814I.
