NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V594
Component(s): AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected: 41,918
Manufacturer: Mazda
North American Operations
SUMMARY:
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured February 4, 2008, to December 3, 2009.
The protective coating may not have been properly applied to the air bag control unit (ACU) and, as a result, moisture may damage the unit causing it to malfunction.
CONSEQUENCE:
Failure of the ACU would illuminate the air bag warning light and prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
REMEDY:
Mazda dealers will replace the ACU, free of charge, however parts are not currently available.
Mazda will send interim notifications to owners beginning October 3, 2016 and will mail a second notice when remedy parts are available.
Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500.
Mazda’s number for this recall is 9816H.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
