• Recall 2018597 [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. Additional note: this is an expansion of recall 2018-040.

• Recall 2018504 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (ontario, quebec, new brunswick, nova scotia, prince edward island, and newfoundland & labrador), the front cross member may rust due to a manufacturing defect. This could affect vehicle handling and cause reduced steering control, potentially increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will install a drain hose, inspect the cross member and, depending on its condition, replace it or install a reinforcement and apply a wax coating.

• Recall 2014075 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles equipped with the 2.5l engine, a particular type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line which may cause a restriction in the line. If this occurs, the fuel tank pressure may become excessively negative when the emission control system works to purge the vapors from the canister. As the canister is purged repeatedly during normal operation, the stress on the fuel tank may eventually result in a crack causing a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will inspect the canister vent line and, if a web is found, the fuel tank and check valve on the canister vent line will be replaced. The powertrain control module (pcm) will be reprogrammed with modified software having a function to avoid excessive negative pressure of the fuel tank.

• Front subframe corrosion investigation # PE18006

  In a letter dated september 14, 2018, mazda north american operations (mazda) notified the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) of a defect in the front subframe assemblies of model year (my) 2009 through 2010 mazda6 vehicles in certain states with high road salt use in winter months (recall 18v-631). The recall covers approximately 48,814 vehicles that were sold or ever registered in the following states and district of columbia:connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia, and wisconsin. Mazda indicated that the recalled vehicles may have insufficient paint coating on the front cross member, which after continuous use in salt states may cause premature corrosion of the cross member. As the corrosion progresses over time, the structural integrity of the mounting point at the passenger side of the lower control arm may deteriorate and cause the steering alignment to change. If the steering alignment changes significantly while the vehicle is in motion this may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.Odis analysis of complaints it has received from the public (voqs) and mazda complaint data submitted in response to the information request letter for pe18-006 identified a total of 53 non-duplicative reports alleging incidents in which front cross-member corrosion had progressed to the stage of complete or partial separation of the subject steering or suspension components and another 98 reports alleging premature and/or excessive corrosion of the subject components with no separation. Mazdas recall will inspect the subframe and apply structural reinforcements, anti-corrosive wax and an ac drain tube free of charge. In cases of excessive corrosion, the subframe will be replaced free of charge.All 53 complaints alleging complete or partial separations involved vehicles that will be covered under mazdas recall, resulting in a failure rate of 108.6 reports per 100,000 vehicles (r/100k) in the recalled population. When all complaints are analyzed by region, 150 involve vehicles included in mazdas recall (307.3 r/100k) and just 1 involved a my 2009 through 2010 mazda6 vehicle not included in 18v-631 (2.8 r/100k). The field data indicate that mazdas recall adequately covers vehicles with a risk of experiencing premature corrosion-related failure of the subject steering and suspension components in the subject vehicles. Based on mazdas safety recall, this investigation is closed.The following voqs allege loss or compromised steering control while vehicle was in motion:11115277, 11115790, 11128449, 10706604, 10846298, 10899584, 11019306, 11033821, 11048014, 11074634, 11078734, 11080014, 11083781, 11090944, 11091913, 11098279, 11101718, 11102209, 11102796, 11110606, 11110773, 11112830, 11113461, 11113963, 11114039, 11114567, 11114939, 11115303, 11119368, 11119423, 11121341, 11123997, 11124647, 11128648, 11128774, 11130281, 11132046, 11133295, 11133511, 11138829, 11139187, 11139486the following voqs allege subframe corrosion detection prior to subframe failure:11141172, 11131161, 11129747, 11129349, 11129185, 11128591, 11128223, 11124644, 11122948, 11120047, 11119752, 11119362, 11118786, 11118242, 11115432, 11114568, 11114477, 11114061, 11105334, 11104096, 11103756, 11103724, 11101659, 11100420, 11099962, 11097874, 11084411, 11081783, 11034064, 11025276, 10956316some voqs have been omitted from this list due to duplicate voq submission between odi records and mazda records.

The dash on my mazda is melted. It is now causing a bright sheen which makes it difficult to see when the sun hits it. The dash is very sticky and starting to smell like burnt plastic. . I've called mazda customer support and they said the defective part is covered untill 2010, however they said it ended 4 months ago. Unfortunately, covid19 stopped me from making it to the dealership in march. Mazda would not give me an extension due to the current covid19 stay at home order placed in my state
