Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2017/048 (12306)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

It has been identified that the density of the propellant within the airbag inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this condition the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of the airbag deployment allowing the inner pressure of the inflator to increase abnormally resulting in the breakage of the inflator case. In this condition the airbags will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact as the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the driver and/or front seat passenger.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver and passenger front airbag inflators with modified units.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2016/084 (32030)

Manufacturer Reference

AF037A

Defect

Continued exposure to high levels of absolute humidity may cause the driver?s front airbag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver?s front airbag. Should the inflator rupture it could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other vehicle occupants.

Remedy

On affected vehicles replace air bag inflator

R/2014/134 (394)

Manufacturer Reference

AE021A

Defect

Engine may not restart when customer expects after i-stop operation. Although check engine light on dashboard will illuminate.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2013/047 (11627)

Manufacturer Reference

AD017A

Defect

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2013/043 (1974)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

A ceramic condenser required for noise suppression located within the DC-DC converter may have a crack within it causing the condenser to short circuit. It is possible that the DC-DC converter may melt and generate smoke and in the worst case cause a vehicle fire. This converter is located under the front passenger seat.There is small possibility that the DC-DC converter may melt resulting in a vehicle fire

Remedy

A Mazda dealer will replace the DC-DC converter with a modified one.

R/2011/038 (161)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

It is possible that the clips retaining the piston pins were not fitted correctly during engine assembly. The pins may come out of position and wear the cylinder bores. In the worst case the engine will stop and not restart.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new connecting rods and pistons.

R/2006/098 (2005)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

It is possible for the camshaft sensor plate mounting bolts to loosen. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition the sensor plate and bolts may fall off resulting in an engine stall and inability to restart.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and tighten the sensor plate to the specified torque. Only replace parts if they are seen to be damaged.

Recalls Number (Vehicles Effected)

R/2004/111 (18279)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

It has been found that the clearance between the fuel tank insulator and the exhaust pipe is insufficient. During driving this may give rise to an increase in temperature around the fuel tank which may suffer reduced rigidity. At the same time the inner pressure of the fuel tank may increase causing the fuel tank and exhaust insulator to make contact. Should the surface temperature of the fuel tank exceed it's maximum permissible range partial melting may occur which could result in a fuel leak.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and fit an insulator kit between the exhaust and the fuel tank.

Defect

The injector oil seal on the cylinder head cover may detach leading to heavy oil consumption and eventually if the oil pressure warning light is ignored engine seizure.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and replace the cylinder head cover with a modified one.

R/2003/099 (28339)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

Repeated thermal expansion and shrinkage in use may cause the front fog light socket holder to become detached from the fog light case. As a consequence an exposed hot bulb may come into contact with part of the vehicle body or fittings.

Remedy

Attach a spring to the rear of the fog light to prevent the socket holder detaching from the fog light case.

R/2003/098 (16332)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

The brake fluid reservoir may expand temporarily during pressure bleeding of the system. This may cause the float of the fluid level sensor to seize or be displaced - resulting in non-operation of the warning light.

Remedy

Check position and operation of the float and adjust where necessary. Additionally attach a caution label to the reservoir concerning the brake fluid bleeding pressure.

R/2003/018 (2173)

Manufacturer Reference

Defect

A surging noise from the air conditioner clutch may be interpreted as a fuel pressure leak by the engine management sensors. This will activate the fail safe system and shut the engine down.

Remedy

Install a short cord (with condensor) in the air-conditioner magnetic clutch wiring harness.
