DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
Continued exposure to high levels of absolute humidity may cause the driver�s front airbag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver�s front airbag. Should the inflator rupture it could result in metal fragments striking the driver or other vehicle occupants.
On affected vehicles replace air bag inflator

ENGINE MAY STALL
Engine may not restart when customer expects after i-stop operation. Although check engine light on dashboard will illuminate.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and re-programme the engine Power Control Module (PCM) with a modified calibration.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
Water may enter the glow plug control module due to poor sealing of the waterproof connecter for the front harness. In some cases the glow plug control module could get corroded due to the water ingress and in the worst case there is a possibility that the glow plug control module could melt resulting in a vehicle fire.
A Mazda dealer will inspect the glow plug control module and if necessary replace the glow plug control module. Also the installation location of the glow plug control module will be changed to prevent future water ingress.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
A ceramic condenser required for noise suppression located within the DC-DC converter may have a crack within it causing the condenser to short circuit. It is possible that the DC-DC converter may melt and generate smoke and in the worst case cause a vehicle fire. This converter is located under the front passenger seat.There is small possibility that the DC-DC converter may melt resulting in a vehicle fire
A Mazda dealer will replace the DC-DC converter with a modified one.
POSSIBLE UNINTENTIONAL INCREASE OF ENGINE SPEED
The throttle valve may become stuck when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost fully depressed leading to possible unintentional increase of engine speed. This is caused by interference of the cruise control cable connector with the engine cover.
Modify the engine cover to prevent the cover from interfering with the cruise control cable.
WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL
Front windscreen motor may suddenly stop operating. The cause of the problem is due to a poor electrical earth connection.
The remedy is a fitment of an additional earth wire between the wiper motor and body of the vehicle.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It is possible that the clips retaining the piston pins were not fitted correctly during engine assembly. The pins may come out of position and wear the cylinder bores. In the worst case the engine will stop and not restart.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit new connecting rods and pistons.
ENGINE MAY STALL
It is possible that due to cleaning process of the fuel tank water may have built up between the fuel pump and wiring harness connectors which can cause corrosion of the connector pins. In the extreme cases corrosion could result in an inoperative fuel pump which could cause the engine to stall or the inability to start.
Recall all affected vehicles and inspect the connectors for corrosion. If corrosion or damage is found a short section of the wiring harness and fuel pump top section will be replaced.
GEARBOX MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The bracket that secures the automatic transmission shift cable to the transmission casing may crack and break. This is as a result of unnecessary welding. Should the bracket fail then gear selection witl be extremely difficult or in extreme cases impossible.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the bracket. If the bracket has been welded then replacement of the bracket is required.
ENGINE REVS MAY INCREASE INADVERTENTLY
It is possible that white smoke can occur from the exhaust pipe and engine speed may increase whilst driving.
Recall affected vehicles and replace Power Control Module.

ENGINE MOUNTING MAY FAIL UNDER SUDDEN ACCELERATION
It has been identified that the number 4 engine mounting bolt may not have been tightened to the correct torque during production. This could result in the engine mounting failing under sudden acceleration.
Recalled vehicles will have the mounting bolt checked for compliance. Should the torque on the subject bolt be found to be outside of the specification.The appropriate action as described in the technical instruction will be applied as necessary.

Recalled vehicles will have the mounting bolt checked for compliance. Should the torque on the subject bolt be found to be outside of the specification.The appropriate action as described in the technical instruction will be applied as necessary.
ENGINE MOUNTING BOLT MAY FAIL
No 4 Engine mounting tightening bolt may loosen if a sudden acceleration is repeatedly carried out. If vehicle is continually used under such conditions No 4 mounting bolt may drop off and break allowing transmission to be out of position and in the worst case the driveshaft may detach resulting in loss of drive.
Recall affected vehicles to check mounting bolt torque and if necessary replace bolt with modified version.
AIR BAG MAY FAIL
The airbag warning lamp may illuminate. Airbag activation system is disabled. In worst case the airbag may be activated unintentionally.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the central processing unit.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the central processing unit.
ENGINE MAY SEIZE
It has been identified that on a small number of vehicles the oil feed in the cylinder head and camshaft carrier may not be correctly aligned allowing the oil flow to be restricted. If this this allowed to continue it is likely to result in an engine malfunction when the mileage exceeds 62000.
Recalled vehicles will be checked for their presence in the affected range and fitted with a new partial engine if so identified.
ENGINE MAY STALL.
It is possible for the camshaft sensor plate mounting bolts to loosen. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition the sensor plate and bolts may fall off resulting in an engine stall and inability to restart.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and tighten the sensor plate to the specified torque. Only replace parts if they are seen to be damaged.
