If you own a Mazda6 read this now for your own safety!
Mazda Motor Corporation has announced a Recall Campaign on certain Mazda6 vehicles!
Mazda has outlined a concern affecting some Mazda6 vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. The supplier of air bags, Takata Corporation, notified Mazda SA that the subject coverage of the recall campaign affects Mazda6 vehicles produced from April 2002 through June 2003 with model the VIN code (GG). This means these vehicles will need to be recalled.
The recall is due to an inappropriate production condition and storage of the propellant in the inflator. There have been no recorded incidences on Mazda vehicles globally; however, there have been three recorded incidences on other brand vehicles. Since there is a potential that the same defect may occur on some Mazda vehicles, Mazda Southern Africa will conduct a repair procedure to replace the passenger-side air bag inflator with an improved unit on the possibly affected vehicles.
Mazda SA urges all owners with possibly affected Mazda6 vehicles to contact the Mazda SA Dealer Network or the Mazda SA Customer Care Centre on 0860 069 700 or email [email protected].
