| MLIT filing number | 2101540 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | May 18, 2000 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda |
| Component | Fuse |
| Production period | April 16, 1997 — May 26, 1999 |
| Vehicles affected | 942 units |
Issue
The fuse capacity in the rear heater electrical circuit is insufficient. When excessive current flows, the fuse fails to operate, causing the rear heater motor to overheat. This may melt the resin case and cause the motor to detach.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add a 25A fuse to the electrical circuit and replace the rear heater grille. Additionally, on vehicles where the rear heater motor shows signs of abnormality and on vehicles operated in snow regions, replace the motor with a new unit.
