Mazda Motor Corp. — EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL

Is my product affected?

2017 MAZDA MAZDA6

  • Brand MAZDA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Mazda is recalling certain 2017 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured between August 12, 2016, and September 28, 2016, that were equipped with optional fog lights. These vehicles have an incorrect combination switch installed, which prevents the turn signals from automatically canceling when the steering wheel is turned. This defect means a driver could continuously drive with the turn signal flashing, potentially confusing other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.

Mazda will notify owners and replace the faulty combination switch at no charge through authorized dealers. The recall began in December 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 and reference recall number 0316J to arrange service.
