Liftgate Stay Damper Recall
On the affected vehicles, an inappropriate type of paint has been used on the end-cap of the external body of the Liftgate Stay Dampers (struts). In regions where exposure to salt occurs, surface corrosion may result. If the corrosion is not addressed and progresses, the external body may swell and the end-cap may split and break as the Rear Liftgate (tailgate) is opened.
In the worst case scenario, people nearby may be at risk of injury from components dislodged by the pressurised gas contained in the Liftgate Stay Damper (strut).
Mazda Australia will contact all affected customers by mail as soon as parts become available. Customers will be advised to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer for the replacement of the Liftgate Stay Dampers (struts) at no charge.
Seat Lifter Link Recall
On the drivers seat of the affected vehicles, it is possible that the Seat Height Adjustment Lifter Link may crack, or the Lifter Link Retaining Nuts may separate. In the worst case, the Lifter Link may break or separate from the seat frame, causing the seat to move out of position.
Mazda Australia will contact all affected owners. Owners will be advised to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer for inspection and repair at no charge.
