2001-2002 Mazda Tribute Recalled for Fire Risk

Mazda says that owners should park their Tributes outside until the repair has been performed.

"The brake master cylinder reservoir cap can leak brake fluid," said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. "If brake fluid leaks, it could come in contact with the antilock brake system module wiring harness connector. Corrosion may develop in the electrical connector leading (to) melting, smoking or possible fire."

Mazda dealers will replace the Tribute's brake master cylinder reservoir cap and modify the antilock brake electrical system.
