United States. The vehicle manufacturer Mazda confirmed the recall of 109,000 Tribute SUVs from models from 2001 to 2004 due to corrosion problems.
As reported by the newspaper La Opinión, of Los Angeles, California, oxidation can cause a separation of the lower control arm of the auxiliary frame of the vehicle, so they are removing all cars in stadiums where corrosion occurs, more in those that have roads where salt is added during the winter.
Mazda revealed that the affected vehicles will be fitted with a transverse clamp reinforcement. The notices about this will be made by the Japanese manufacturer on May 19, as well as send a second letter, after preparing to carry out the separation of parts.
