Recall Alert: 2009 Mazda6

The recall is due to a defect with the outer door handles, which may stick and prevent the door latch from catching. This, in turn, could lead to the door flying open while driving, which is a clear danger to occupants. Mazda dealers will inspect each door handle and replace or repair the handles free of charge if they’re found to be faulty.

Owners can contact Mazda at 800-222-5500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.
