Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mazda is recalling approximately 12,741 model year 2004-2006 B-Series pickup trucks that had their front passenger air bag inflators replaced during a previous safety recall. In some of these vehicles, the replacement inflator may have been installed incorrectly, which can prevent the air bag from inflating properly during a collision. Owners of these vehicles will need to visit an authorized dealer for a free inspection and potential reinstallation of the air bag component.

Risk

If the air bag inflator was installed incorrectly, the passenger air bag may fail to deploy or inflate as intended during a crash. This failure to properly protect the passenger significantly increases the risk of injury or death in an accident.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate your vehicle's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and contact a Mazda dealer to confirm if your 2004-2006 B-Series truck is part of this specific recall (Campaign 6423L).
  2. If your vehicle is affected, schedule an appointment with an authorized Mazda dealer to have the front passenger air bag inflator inspected and, if necessary, reinstalled correctly.
  3. This inspection and any required repair work will be performed free of charge to the vehicle owner.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 (Option 6) and reference recall number 6423L.
  5. For further assistance, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
