Mazda offers clarity on safety recall
No incidents of abnormal deployment reported.
Mazda Motor Corporation has announced it has extended the Airbag Recall Campaign on certain Mazda2, Mazda6 and Mazda RX-8 vehicles for three different types of Takata Corporation manufactured airbag inflators.
Although no cases of abnormal deployment or dangerous flaws have been found in any Mazda vehicles in the course of the investigative recall; the concern had deemed an extended formal recall campaign necessary.
Novel Mazda has been made aware of the global recall and Namibian Mazda drivers are to take note that only Mazda2 (year of manufacture from February 2010 to September 2010), Mazda6 (year of manufacture from March 2005 to December 2008) and Mazda RX-8 (year of manufacture between August 2003 to June 2007) are affected.
An easy way to see which Namibian vehicles are affected is to check whether Mazda2, Mazda6 and Mazda RX-8 Vehicle Identity Numbers (VIN) start with MM6DE, JM6GG or JMZSE. VINs are clearly indicated on the licence disc of your vehicle for easy reference.
These particular units are equipped with the “PSDI-4” driver-side air bag inflator, the “SDI-160” driver side air bag inflator, or the “SPI”, “SDI-230” and the “PSPI” passenger-side air bag inflators.
Currently, Novel Mazda awaits instructions as to how the recall protocol is to be implemented. Once the process is in place, Novel Mazda will implement the recall as quickly as possible under the guidance of Mazda South Africa and in a way that does not inconvenience any of our customers.
At present, initial information shows there are not many vehicles within the affected range on our roads.
Customers who have vehicles bought within the production periods stipulated or whose VIN numbers indicate that attention to their vehicles is necessary, should contact Shaun Willemse, service advisor at Novel Mazda on 081 453 5098.
