    PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY

    Defect

    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 or in a thermal issue in the interior compartment which may lead to fire.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

    THROTTLE MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE

    Defect

    Due to a production fault on the upper part of the throttle grip housing the throttle cable wire may slide out of the deflection roller and become wedged between the deflection roller and the housing. This blocks the throttle slide and may result in an uncontrollable riding situation.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the upper part of the hand throttle control housing the deflector roller and bronze bushing.

    BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY DECREASE

    Defect

    On-going research and quality checks have revealed that vehicles may be affected by possible interference between the brake hoses and the gearbox leading to potential brake hose abrasions and dispersion of brake fluid with decreased braking efficiency.

    Remedy

    Vehicles will be inspected and brake hoses checked for damage. The retaining clips will be repositioned and if required brake hoses replaced.

    PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT RELEASE FULLY

    Defect

    On Some VELOSTER (FS) vehicles fitted with a manual transaxle after applying the parking brake it may not fully release after releasing it. This is due to corrosion where water is entering into rear caliper.

    Remedy

    The parking brake mechanism must be inspected if it is free of corrosion a new seal must be fitted and then the cable lever kit must be replaced. If corrosion is visible both rear brake calipers must be replaced.

    FIRE MAY OCCUR

    Defect

    Oil may emerge from cylinder head cover in the event of engine damage. In the worst case scenario this could cause a fire hazard if leaking oil comes into contact with parts of the exhaust system.Some engine damage may cause high pressures in the crankcase. In extreme cases oil may escape at the cylinder head cover.

    Remedy

    BRAKE POWER ASSISTANCE MAY BE AFFECTED

    Defect

    Brake performance may be affected as a result of oil contamination of the brake servo. The servo membrane could over a period of time soften and fail causing lower levels of servo assistance for the brakes.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the vacuum hose and fit a non-return valve (oil stop) between the booster and servo. Where necessary the servo and master cylinder will be replaced.

    BRAKING MAY BE REDUCED

    Defect

    It is possible that moisture can enter the front wheel ABS sensors via its wiring due to insufficient waterproofing. This can cause the generation of an abnormal signal to the ABS ECU. This will normally be identified to the driver by the illumination of a warning light on the dash panel the fluctuation of the speedometer needle or noise produced by the false activation of the ABS system. In extreme cases it could affect the directional control of the vehicle or reduce the braking efficiency of the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicle to replace the sensors.

    FIRE MAY OCCUR

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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.

    ENGINE MAY CUT OUT

    Defect

    It is possible that the connection between the B+ cable and the Power Distribution Box can become damaged by wear and heat which is caused by high current flow and high contact resistance. Normally this will result in a non-start situation after parking the vehicle. However it is possible that this could in extreme cases occur whilst the vehicle is in motion. The driver should be make aware of the issue by flickering of the instrument cluster (dash) or an engine mis-fire; but if the driver does not then the engine could cut-out without warning.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles and replace the cable/connection with a more robust item.
