Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1104370 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | May 19, 1994 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Suzuki |
| Component | Turn Signal |
| Production period | September 1991 — June 30, 1992 |
| Vehicles affected | 170,509 units |
Defect
The dust-proofing design of the push-button hazard warning switch in the combination switch mounted on the steering column is inadequate. Continued use allows dust and foreign matter to enter the switch, causing the button to stick in the depressed position. In the worst case, electrical current may no longer flow to the turn signals, which share a circuit with the hazard warning lights, causing the turn signals to stop functioning.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the combination switch with the corrected part.
