B3000 SE Regular Cab 4WD V6-3.0L OHV (1998)
Cruise Control Servo: Recalls
Recall 99V062002: Cruise Control Cable/Throttle Binding
Vehicle Description: Certain 1998-1998 Mazda B-series trucks (B2500, B3000 and B4000) equipped with cruise control and built from January 1998
through March 4, 1999. A cruise control cable can interfere with the speed control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when
disengaging the cruise control.
If the cruise control is used and this condition is present, a stuck throttle could result, which could potentially result in a crash.
Dealers will replace the cruise control cables. At the present time, the replacement cables are not available. Customers are being advised NOT TO USE
the cruise control system until a replacement can be made.
Owners will be contacted twice. First owner notification began May 7, 1999.
The second notice will begin June 21, 1999, when parts are available. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service
date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
