2009 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCK
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mazda is recalling certain 2009 B-Series trucks that were ever registered in specific northern and western U.S. states due to a defect in the passenger-side front air bag inflator. The inflators may explode during a crash when the air bag deploys, potentially causing sharp metal fragments to strike the driver or other occupants and resulting in serious injury or death. The problem occurs because the inflators can degrade after long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes.
Mazda dealers will replace the defective front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate inflator at no cost to owners. The recall began on June 15, 2018. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, referencing recall number 2118A, to schedule the replacement.
