What happened

Mazda is recalling certain 2010-2015 model year vehicles (Mazda6, CX-7, and CX-9) in specific geographic zones due to a defect in the front passenger air bag inflator. The inflators may explode during a crash due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes, potentially causing sharp metal fragments to strike occupants and result in serious injury or death.

Mazda will notify owners and replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate inflator at no charge. Affected owners should contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, Option 4, to arrange the replacement. The recall began November 9, 2018, and Mazda's reference number for this recall is 1317F.
