Recall 04V-234: 2001–2002 Mazda MPV
MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on May 19, 2004, covering about 10,200 vehicles.
The problem
On certain minivans equipped with cruise control, the cruise control actuator cable may be broken due to insufficient strength (Group 1). Also included are certain 2000-2001 minivans equipped with cruise control built between march 31, 1999 and march 31, 2001, that have had the cruise control repaired and possibly had a defective cable installed during that repair (Group 2).
The risk
It is possible that the broken actuator cable may be out of position and could interfere with the operation of the accelerator cable, preventing a decrease in engine speed while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the actuator cable. Owner notification for vehicles involved in group 1 began on july 7, 2004. Owner notification for vehicles involved in group 2 began on september 10, 2004. Owners should contact mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
