Summary:
Vehicle Description: Light duty 4x2 and 4x4 pickup trucks equipped with 4.0L engines. The flexible section of the chassis mounted fuel line that
connects to the engine was routed too close to the exhaust manifold. The line could contact the manifold.
This could potentially result in damage to the fuel line, or in some cases, cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result
in a fire.
Dealers will install an additional clip to hold the fuel line in the intended design position.
Owner notification is expected to begin December 1, 1997. 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 1-800-424-9393.
