Recall Alert: 2009-2010 Mazda6
CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 42,000 model-year 2009-10 Mazda6 sedans manufactured between Feb. 4, 2008, and Dec. 3, 2009
The Problem: The protective coating may not have been properly applied to the airbag control unit. As a result, moisture may damage the unit, causing it to malfunction; the airbag warning light may illuminate and the airbags may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the airbag control unit for free. The automaker noted, however, that parts were not immediately available.
What Owners Should Do: Mazda will begin sending interim notifications to owners on Oct. 3, and a second notice will be sent when parts become available. Owners can call the automaker at 800-222-5500 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
