Takata - Driver and Passenger Air Bag Recall

In the affected vehicles continued exposure of the driver-side and passenger-side air bag inflator to high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the frontal air bag.

If you are involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle.

Solution:

Mazda Australia will contact all affected customers to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer for the replacement of the driver-side and passenger side airbag inflator at no charge.
