Mazda Motor Corp was recalling more than 52,000 Tribute SUVs for potential brake fluid leaks that could lead to a fire. Mazda has notified owners of 52,390 Tributes from model years 2001 and 2002 about the potential brake fluid leaks that could come into contact with the anti-lock brake system module wiring harness. In the case of a leak, corrosion could develop and lead to melting, smoking or a fire, according to NHTSA. The affected vehicles were built at Ford Motor Co’s Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri. Until the repairs are made, NHTSA says owners are being told to park their vehicles outside.
