Mazda inadequate clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable connector could result in a stuck throttle when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost-fully depressed.
The short version
MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS reported a problem with the vehicle speed control cables. Here is what owners need to know.
Inadequate clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable connector could result in a stuck throttle when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost-fully depressed. This risk exists regardless of whether or not speed control (cruise control) is used.
A stuck throttle may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop or slow the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles by increasing the engine cover clearance, free of charge.
