I have received several recall letters regarding the defective driver and passenger airbags. It's been 2 years since I received letter from Mazda regarding one airbag. Within those two years, my Mazda dealer still states they are unable to source parts for the recall, two years after first notice. Received letter from Mazda regarding passenger airbag recall (now two recalls). Local Mazda dealer still states Mazda hqs has not provided them with required parts to fix both recalls. Will be writing a letter to BBB regarding Mazda corporate's failed fulfillment of a potentially life threatening recall that has simply been brushed under the rug with no concern of the public's safety.
