Air Bags, equipment
02/06/2004
I NOTICED FROM TSB#97-24-14, NOV 1997 THAT THE WIRE HARNESS TERMINAL REPAIR KIT WAS A RECALL PROBLEM FOR THE 1998 FORD RANGER PICK-UP, MY MAZDA B3000 HAD A BURNED OUT PAD SWITCH AND MODULAR FOR THE AIRBAG. THE 1998 MAZDA B3000 AND FORD RANGER ARE EXACTLY THE SAME TRUCK, HOW COME THE 98 MAZDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. *AK

1998 MAZDA B2500 SE EXTENDED CAB: PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE IDLE SPEED DURING IDLE SITUATIONS (E.G., STOP SIGN, STOPLIGHT, GARAGE START) W/ CLUTCH DISENGAGED; ENGINE REVS FROM 1000 RPM TO 3000 RPM AND THEN QUICKLY BACK DOWN TO 1000 RPM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL ROOT CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT.
