Check if your Mazda has a Recall
June 23, 2017
| Attention: | Mazda General Managers, Parts and Service Managers |
| Subject: | 2014-2017 Mazda3 and 2014-2015 Mazda6 Mechanical Rear Parking Brake Sticking Concern Safety Recall 1217F |
On June 22, 2017, Mazda Motor Corporation decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to address a concern with 2014-2017 Mazda3 and 2014-2015 Mazda6 equipped with a conventional lever actuated rear parking brake.
Concern Outline:
On the mechanical (cable) type parking brake, the parking brake actuator shaft may rust resulting in increased sliding resistance of the actuator shaft or a stuck actuator shaft. This is due to an inappropriate sealing performance of the rear brake caliper protective boot, particularly in cold temperatures, which could allow water to enter the brake caliper and cause the parking brake actuator shaft to rust. If the vehicle’s rear parking brake has this concern, the parking brake holding force may be insufficient to hold the vehicle if parked on a slope or hill resulting in unexpected movement.
