2015_mazda_mazda6_angularfrontMazda has recalled 330,000 cars for a front air bag that can explode in the event of a crash and send shrapnel into occupants. The following cars were recalled for the potentially deadly air bag problem:

Vehicle Make/Model Year(s)

  • MAZDA SPEED6  2006-2007
  • MAZDA RX-8  2004-2008

Air Bag can Rupture

Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) announced that it is recalling these certain models from these years because the front driver’s side air bag could rupture in the event of a deployment. Metal fragments could consequently rupture through the bag and strike vehicle occupants, causing potentially serious injury. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag inflators.
