Windshield wiper assembly - nominally repaired in 2001 recall - failed completely & without warning. Small plastic connector came apart. Wipers were operating, but load was only water - no ice or snow. As close to a serious accident as I would care to come based on a mechanical failure. Talked to Mazda, but they would not address failure history of item. They have replaced assembly (again), but no indication this one will work any better!

Windshield wipers stopped working during heavy rain while driving on a 70 mph highway. The failure happened long after the windshield wiper linkage recall was performed.
