If this problem exists, the air will not deploy as designed in certain types of frontal crashes, increasing the risk of death or serious injury to the driver and front seat passenger.

On certain passenger vehicles, a crack in the air bag crash zone sensor housing can allow water to enter the sensor, causing a short circuit and illuminating the air bag warning light.
Dealers will inspect the crash zone sensor and replace it, if necessary. The recall began on October 28, 2004. Owners should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
