Filing in context
The Differential is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 33 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 13 Mazda notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 2,157 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 5 months.
Defect
An insufficient amount of oil was introduced into the differential during assembly, resulting in inadequate lubrication. This causes seizure of the differential and, in the worst case, wheel lockup while driving, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the differential oil level. Where the level is insufficient, replace the differential assembly with a new unit and fill to the specified oil quantity.
