VACUUM PUMP MAY WEAR PREMATURELY.
The vacuum pump may wear prematurely meaning that in some applications where the brake pedal is pressed quickly whilst at low engine speed � the servo assistance provided by the vacuum system in decreased. This could cause a momentary decrease in braking performance. Braking assistance available to the driver can be reduced
Vehicles affected will be fitted with a modified Vacuum pump.
FUEL INJECTOR SOFTWARE DOES NOT CONTROL THE ELECTRIC CURRENT CORRECTLY
The Software controlling the fuel injectors does not control the electric current correctly. This may cause the injector control circuit to short circuit and cause the engine to stall. Results in possible Engine Stall without Warning
Vehicles affected will have the injector control software re-programmed

Vehicles affected will have the injector control software re-programmed
CONTROL LOGIC WHICH MONITORS THE CHARGING CONTROL PROGRAM FAILS TO DIVERT ELECTRICAL POWER AWAY FROM CAPACITOR IN THE EVENT OF A FAULT
On the subject vehicles the control logic which monitors the charging control program fails to divert the electrical power away from the capacitor when a fault is detected within the capacitor circuit. This can cause a short circuit inside the DCDC converter and could cause the engine to stall or overheating of the DCDC converter itself which could cause a fire. The fault is accompanied by the �i-ELOOP� warning light being illuminated on the instrument cluster along with the �i-Stop� warning light flashing The engine may in some circumstances stall and fail to restart. In extreme cases the DCDC converter could overheat and cause a fire
Reprogram the PCM with the correct control logic. If error code �U3000: 49-DCDC� is stored � the DCDC Converter must also be replaced.

INJECTOR MOUNTING NUTS TIGHTENING FORCE MAY BE INSUFFICIENT
The tightening force of the injector mounting nuts may be insufficient. This could cause combustion gas to leak from the injector and contaminate the engine oil within the cylinder head. This in turn could cause the engine oil strainer to become blocked. This could cause the engine to stall. Engine Pressure Oil Light appears along with the engine malfunction indicator. Possible Engine Stall without Warning
Vehicles affected will have the engine checked for contamination and repaired / replaced if necessary. The Fuel injectors will also be re-tightened to the appropriate torque.

AIRBAG INFLATORS MAY NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED
On the subject vehicles the Takata Driver and Passenger airbag inflators may not operate as intended Injury may result due to incorrect deployment of the Airbag
Replacement of Airbag Assembly
SOFTWARE ERROR CAN CAUSE ENGINE TO FAIL
On the subject vehicles the engine protection logic does not work properly. When the engine speed reaches maximum with no engine load present � the software is unable to cut the engine. This could in extreme cases cause catastrophic engine failure. Immediate and catastrophic engine damage may result.
Re-program the engine protection software within the PCM.

FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT CASTING MAY CRACK / BREAK
The front lower arm ball joint casting may have a crack due to inappropriate manufacturing process being used. In extreme driving conditions this could cause the casting to break and the ball joint to become detached. If this happens it could result in the driver losing control of the vehicle.
Replace both left side and right side lower arms with modified units.
FUEL MAY LEAK
On the subject vehicles the resin fuel pump rings located on the top surface of the fuel tank may deteriorate by heat from the engine and exhaust pipes. Over time this deterioration could cause the fuel tank to leak which may increase the risk a vehicle fire. The resin fuel pump discharge pipe mounted to the upper part of the fuel pump body (within the fuel tank) may also deteriorate following exposure to heat from the engine and exhaust systems. This deterioration may cause the pipe to crack creating a fuel leak which could increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Fuel may leak from either the upper surface of the fuel tank and /or the fuel pump discharge pipe. In the worst case this may result in a fuel leak. This in turn could increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
Replacement of the resin fuel pump rings and the fitment of heat insulating pads on the upper surface of the fuel tank to prevent future deterioration by heat of the engine and exhaust systems. The fuel pump filter body will also be replaced with a modified version in order to address the concern of the deterioration of the fuel discharge pipe.
HANDBRAKE MAY DISENGAGE UNEXPECTEDLY
On the subject vehicles the tolerances of the teeth on the handbrake sector gear are outside Mazda Corporations design secifications. This reduces engagement between the handbrake sector gear and the ratchet pawl and can cause the handbrake to disengage unexpectedly. This could cause the parking brake to release unintentionally and the vehicle to move unexpectedly.
Replacement of Handbrake lever mechanism.
