2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 Passenger Air Bag Inflator Concern – Safety Recall 2618F

“This site contains affiliate links for which OEMDTC may be compensated”

June 15, 2018 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V403000

Passenger Frontal Air Bag Inflator May Explode

An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V403

Manufacturer Mazda North American Operations

Components AIR BAGS

Potential Number of Units Affected 237

 

Summary

Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2009-2010 Mazda RX-8 vehicles that were previously recalled under

recall 18V-017 but have not yet been repaired. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

 

Remedy

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 9, 2019. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, option 4. Mazda’s number for this recall is 2618F. Note: This recall supersedes recall 18V017.

 

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.

Attention: All Mazda Dealership General Managers, Service Managers, and Parts Managers
Subject: Warranty Claim Process for an Unrepairable Vehicle and/or Unwilling to Participate Vehicle Owner with a Takata Air Bag Inflator Recall

 

For the Takata air bag inflator recall, the Mazda North American Operations Recall Department has developed a process to specifically address vehicles that cannot be repaired for any number of reasons, including but not limited to: damaged or modified vehicles and vehicle owners who refuse to have a Takata recall completed.  If upon inspection it is found that the vehicle cannot receive the Takata recall, then a warranty claim can be entered for administrative costs and to document this situation.

We have developed very specific guidelines and Warranty claim procedures for unrepairable vehicles or unwilling to participate owners with Takata air bag inflators that are outlined below and available on MGSS in documents for each Takata recall.  Please be aware all claims will be reviewed by the Warranty Department after submission.

NOTE:  Please make sure that you DO NOT refuse to repair a B-Series truck just because it has a “Ford” part.   Ford was the manufacturer of all B-Series trucks after 1994 and the air bag and inflator may fit the steering mechanism even if it is not an OEM part.  The part may say “Ford” or have a Ford Part Number, so please contact the Warranty department at MNAO and they will forward your question to the recall team if you have any concerns on an unrepairable vehicle with an Open Takata recall.

If you believe that a vehicle is in your dealer shop with an open Takata air bag recall that cannot be repaired please follow the procedures below:

  1. Contact MNAO Warranty Department to explain why you believe that the vehicle cannot be repaired under the Takata recall. Dealers should not unilaterally decide that a recall repair cannot be performed and must discuss the specific vehicle with MNAO so that MNAO and the Dealer together can try to find possible solutions to complete the recall despite the initial obstacles.  After discussing with MNAO, then the Dealer can proceed with the following steps.
  2. If the customer simply refuses to have the Takata recall performed, document on the Repair Order:

“The owner has been informed that this vehicle needs to have Takata recall [add applicable recall #] performed and that their refusal to allow the dealer to perform the necessary recall(s) could result in serious injury or death to any driver or passenger in the vehicle; however the owner has still refused to allow the dealer to perform the recall” and have the customer sign and date their acknowledgement.

  1. If the customer refuses to sign the Repair Order, document by writing “Customer refuses to sign” with time and date and service manager signature.
  2. If a vehicle has been modified or damaged to an extent that the recall cannot be performed (e.g., if the steering wheel has been replaced with a racing steering wheel that has no airbag), provide a detailed explanation to the owner about what will need to be done in order to bring the vehicle into a condition where the recall can be performed.

NOTE:  Be sure to let the customer know why the vehicle needs additional work in order to be able to complete the Takata recall and what specific items are included within the Takata recall.

  1. If the customer agrees to the additional work needed on their vehicle, please proceed to repair and close the Takata recall as usual. If they do not agree to the additional work needed to perform the recall repair, please proceed to step 5.
  2. Take clear photos of the modifications and/or damage that shows why the vehicle cannot be repaired under the recall.
  3. Document on the Repair Order the modifications and/or damage and the necessary steps and estimate for repair.
  4. If the customer refuses the additional work needed to perform the recall repair, document on the

Repair Order : “This vehicle was found to have modifications and/or damage to the airbag system that renders the Recall Remedy unrepairable.  The customer has refused to allow the dealer to perform the necessary recall(s) even though the customer was informed that their decision could result in serious injury or death to any driver or passenger in the vehicle” and have the customer sign and date their acknowledgement.

  1. If the customer refuses to sign the Repair Order, document by writing “Customer refuses to sign” with time and date and service manager signature.
  2. Submit a claim using the following claim detail listed in the attached documentation and required attachments below:
    1. D01- Copy of Repair Order
    2. D40 – At least 1 clear photo showing the damage/modification.
  3. If you have any questions, please contact the Warranty department at warrantydept@mazdausa.com email and they will forward your inquiry to the Recall Team for next steps. You will receive a response in 24 hours or less. Please contact Warranty with any questions, PRIOR to submitting for payment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Question: My claim is pending for Warranty review, why?

Answer:  All claims will be reviewed by Warranty to ensure dealers are attaching the proper documents to the claim and are documenting the repair order per policy.

 

  1. Question: If not repaired, will the unrepairable claim close the recall?

Answer:  No.  The vehicle air bag inflator was not replaced, so the recall will still remain open in case a new owner in the future decides to allow us to complete the recall.

 

  1. Question: Can I use this claim for a non-Takata recall with damage/modification?

Answer: Not at this time, but please follow the documentation guidelines as advised above.

 

  1. Question: Will the customer continue to get notices regarding their Open recall?

Answer: The customer is continuing to drive a vehicle that needs a safety recall performed, so they will continue to receive notices to try to convince them to change their mind.

 

  1. Question: If the customer chooses not to allow us to repair the vehicle and leaves with an Open recall, will the VIN still count on the Missed Opportunities Report?

Answer:  If a claim is submitted within the required time frame (the reporting month), then we will remove the VIN with an unrepairable claim. However, if your claim is not  submitted or is late, the Missed Opportunity Report will not be able to exclude the VIN.

 

  1. Question: What if the customer has a deployed or missing passenger and driver air bag, but only wants to repair one of the air bags?  Can I still claim the unrepairable claim?

Answer:  Yes, since there is one air bag the customer declined to repair.  Please document what was and was not repaired on the Repair Order.

 

Protect what is important to you.

1 Associated Investigation

Air Bag Inflator Rupture
NHTSA ID: EA15001
Dated opened: February 24, 2015

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers. All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.

During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers. Nonetheless, at ODI’s insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation. The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures. As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.

Takata’s initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida. Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas. Takata’s testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions. During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.

Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina. Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls. Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity. Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing. All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.

The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time. ODI’s investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.

The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
