Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program (SSP) on certain 2009-2011 Tribute vehicles. On certain 2009-2011 Tribute vehicles, contamination on the internal motor contacts of the throttle body may result in intermittent electrical connectivity.If this condition is present, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp or Wrench Lamp will illuminate, and the vehicle may enter fail-safe mode. In this mode, the engine power and vehicle speed is reduced, while maintaining full functionality of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems. To improve vehicle performance should the above problem occur, dealers must reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Please refer to Attachment II for repair details.This SSP will be in effect until July 31, 2015 regardless of mileage.
