2001-2004 Mazda Tribute Recalled For Potential Steering Problem - The Car Connection

Mazda has issued a recall for Tribute SUVs from the 2001-2004 model years. The problem with the Tribute stems from corrosion on the underside of the vehicle, which appears to be caused by the salts used to de-ice roads in colder states. Mazda says that in some cases, the rust and corrosion can be so severe that it may force the front lower control arms to separate from the Tribute's subframe. Source: www.thecarconnection.com
