• Recall 2018030 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Note: this recall supersedes recall 2017-012. Vehicles completed under the previous 2017-012 recall require repair under this recall, as the previous recall remedy was an interim repair. Interim repair parts must be replaced with final repair parts.

We bought the vehicle used from a car dealership called heavy foot motors in san antonio tx. The very next day, the vehicle started smoking from the hood, exhaust, and smoke came through the air vents. My wife going about 5-10mph while making a turn in a residential neighborhood when the smoking started. We towed the vehicle to the dealership and explained what happened. Their mechanic took the vehicle and had it for three weeks. I picked the vehicle up and made it maybe 5 minutes down the road, and the vehicle did the same thing. So i had the vehicle towed back to the dealership again and it is currently there as of 4/4/2020. My safety concern is that there is smoke coming out of the engine, exhaust, as well as through the ac vent and going into the vehicle. Also, when i went to install my children's seat belt we realized the back seats seat belts do not lock to secure a carseat. That is a major safety concern for me. Also, upon purchase i realize there was no driver side door handle. We agreed in purchase contract that the dealership would put one on if i purchased it. I just found it strange how you could sell a car from a dealership without a driver side door handle. That is a huge safety concern incase something were to happen and that was the only door to open from the outside. I also realize now that the trunk does not open, the door will not open. I will be getting a copy of their mechanic's report where he stated that it is his professional opinion that the vehicle was sold in this condition. I have requested a refund which initially,( verbally) i was told we would get if it in fact was sold in that manner but now they have backed out of that. *tr

Happen 2 days ago while driving i noticed a burning smell of plastic inside the cabin and upon inspection i traced it at the rear brake lights. The bulbs gets to hot and melting the plastic inside the housing of the tail light assembly. This car has a clear tail light assembly and since it's burning the lens is becoming smoky. I think it is a safety concern that this bulb can cause a fire in the future.

Before i received the recall notice i had taken the car in to star mazda an authorized dealer in glendale twice for the airbag light warning sign which had been lit up on the dashboard. Twice star mazda charged me $140.00 for diagnostics and couldn't find the problem with the light. After i received the notice i took the car in and after two hours they indicated that they replace the parts needed and it is a simple recall and its not so important. The airbag malfunction light is still lit on the dashboard and my regular mechanic stated that the airbag might not function on my car since the malfunction light is lit. Please advise. I have another mazda with the same problem and the dealer refuses to resolve the airbag warning sign which is on right after i turn on the vehicle. The other mazda vin # is [xxx]. Please advise.
