2008 MAZDA TRIBUTE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mazda is recalling certain 2008 Tribute vehicles that received remanufactured CD4E transmissions rebuilt between June 11, 2015 and July 15, 2015. In these vehicles, the shift lever bolt may not be properly tightened, which could cause the shift control lever to disengage from the transmission without warning. If this occurs while driving, the gear selection indicator may show the transmission is in "PARK" when it is not actually in that gear position, creating a risk that the vehicle will roll away when the driver or occupants exit the vehicle or at any other time.
A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to people exiting the vehicle or nearby bystanders. Mazda will notify owners and dealers will inspect the transmission and either tighten the manual shift lever bolt or replace the manual shift lever assembly at no charge. Affected owners should contact the Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option #6, and reference recall number 8815J.

If the shift lever disengages from the transmission, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the gear selection indicator may show that the transmission is in the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not actually be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission and if necessary tighten the manual shift lever bolt or replace the manual shift lever assembly, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8815J.
