Filing in context
The Airbag is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 225 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 13 Mazda notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 3,064 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 2 months.
Issue
Some vehicles have horn switch mounting bolts with insufficient strength securing the horn switch to the steering wheel. During airbag deployment in extremely low-temperature conditions, the deployment pressure may fracture the bolt and eject the horn switch from the steering wheel. In the worst case, the ejected horn switch may injure vehicle occupants.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the horn switch and airbag with corrected parts.

状況
ホーンスイッチをステアリングに締結しているボルトの強度が不足しているものがある。そのため、極低温下でエアバッグが展開した際、その圧力により当該ボルトが破断し、ホーンスイッチがステアリングから飛び出し、最悪の場合、乗員に危害を与えるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ホーンスイッチとエアバッグを対策品に交換する。
