While stopped for a traffic light I was impacted from a vehicle behind my vehicle. The impact from the crash did not cause the airbags to deploy. That being said, I am still waiting on Mazda to tell me when they will have the parts to replace the airbag due to the mass recall. I got very lucky this time, but I am not terrified about what can happen now.

Mazda has issued a recall on parts they do not have. This is a huge safety risk on a daily driver such as myself, in the event of an impact my airbag may not deploy or deploy ineffectively, risking me further to injury.
