Mazda Recall Ordered For Second Time To Replace Takata Inflators

Posted in Recalls

— A Mazda Takata airbag recall has been ordered for nearly 70,000 of these vehicles to replace the passenger airbag inflators, something that was already done in previous recalls.

  • 2003-2012 Mazda6
  • 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7
  • 2007-2012 Mazda CX-9
  • 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6
  • 2004-2005 Mazda MPV
  • 2004 Mazda RX-8

The vehicles were previously recalled to replace the old Takata airbag inflators with new Takata inflators, but that was only a temporary remedy. The latest recall is expected to use permanent remedy inflators.

The airbag inflators currently in the vehicles are at risk of exploding and sending sharp pieces of metal into occupants.

Mazda customers with questions should call 800-222-5500.
