Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mazda is recalling certain 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2004-2005 MPV, 2004 RX-8, and 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 vehicles because the passenger front air bag inflators may explode. The inflators can degrade after prolonged exposure to high humidity and temperature changes, potentially causing sharp metal fragments to strike occupants and cause serious injury or death. These vehicles had their passenger air bag inflators previously replaced under an earlier recall, but the replacement inflators have the same design flaw.
Owners should not drive their vehicles until the repair is completed. Mazda will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one at no charge. The recall began December 3, 2019. Owners of affected vehicles can contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, option 4, and reference recall number 2618F.
