Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1134360 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 18, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Suzuki |
| Component | Airbag |
| Production period | May 23, 2014 — June 2014 |
| Vehicles affected | 3,746 units |
Defect
Improper welding of the passenger-seat airbag bracket has caused the weld to detach on some vehicles. Continued use places excessive load on the bracket's body-mounting points and may damage those mounting points. In the worst case, the airbag may not deploy correctly in a collision.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the airbag bracket serial number. On affected vehicles, replace the passenger airbag module with a conforming part. If the bracket side bracket has detached, also replace the steering support member with a new part.
