Description Mazda is recalling certain model year 2001 through 2006, and 2008, Tribute vehicles equipped with 3.0L V6 engines and speed control.

My wife and I are in our late 30's, early 40's. Original owners. We followed the maintenance program ($$) to extend the life of our vehicle. Today I am informed that the crankshaft is out of spec and we need the engine replaced. Popping of the clutch is what can cause the crankshaft / housing to become out of spec. Apparently, I like to 4x4 in Alberta fields and drag race on the local track. Mazda is not interested in finding out why at 119,000km engine failed. Sad day. I used to own a 1976 Duster, 318 V8, and I had to sell due to gas costs. For 10G, I could have rebuilt it with a V6. Sad for me? I am.

Do you drive a 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
