• 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.

Related to mazda recall number 2818i - front frame rotting out. They applied a bandaid fix under the recall, to only 1 side of the vehicle and the part they used does not even connect to the actual suspension pieces that are rotting out of the frame. It is basically a plate to keep the rotting frame from separating completely on only 1 side. The problem is the entire frame is still rotting at a crazy excessive rate. I have had many used, older vehicles and have never seen a car so new almost rendered undrivable due to the frame condition. My mechanic said it should have all been replaced given how much corrosion/rust is on the entire frame instead of only a bracket on one side... And the fix they performed is nothing more than a liability treatment to keep the car from completely falling apart and killing someone when the frame fails on that side. The frame was left in place and is rotting faster than i have even seen on a vehicle especially at less than 10years old and less than 100k miles. Nhtsa needs to follow up on this recall as some dealers are doing the bear minimum to 'fix' the issue instead of replacing the frame as they should be....Some of the cars were newer and were not yet experiencing the heavy rust at the time of the recall but fast forward a year or two and the entire frame is nearly junk covered by a fancy metal plate on only 1 side that is simply intended to keep the rotting frame from separating and nothing else...It didn't at all 'fix' the problem. I cannot submit pics right now, but given this is related to a previous recall not sure it is necessary...Look into how they are 'bandaiding' some of the 2013's while replacing the entire frames on 2011's...It's not even close to the same repair and the 'bandaid' fix does nothing to address the actual problem of premature rot on the frame. I can send an example of both upon request.

The low beam headlights are so dim you barely can see anything often i have to turn on high beam lights

My 2013 mazda 6 have some brake related issues, i was able to hear the vaccum or air leakage noise while applying brakes. Car takes longer distance to stop or at times it keeps rolling at the time of hard braking. Took it to local mazda dealership and found out its the brake booster leaking and needs to be replaced which estimates around $600. I was trying to find answers online and looks like mazda had the same issues with other models too from 2011 models. I need to know if this is a safety concern and mazda should be extending their safety warranty ofr these known issues or defective parts.

The dashboard on the passenger side of my mazda 6 2013 is melting and is very sticky. Today as i was driving i started to notice a glare from where the sticky melting part is and it started obstructing my vision.

Manufacturers recall number 1317f. Nhtsa recall 18v-018 and manufacturers recall number 70131. Nhtsa recall 13v42500. First one is air bag on passenger side and the other is mazda 6 door latch mounting screws.
