Mazda Recall
Information
Last Updated
December, 2008
AUGUST
2008 -- Mazda is
recalling 7,200 MY 2007-2008
Mazda6 vehicles with
California emission
specifications. The metal
fuel tanks on the affected
vehicles may have had the
PVC protective coating on
the outside of the fuel tank
damaged during the assembly
process which may result in
reduced corrosion
resistance. This could lead
to perforation of the fuel
tank, causing fuel leakage.
Fuel leakage in the presence
of an ignition source could
result in a fire. Dealers
will inspect the bottom
surface of the fuel tank for
damage to the protective
coating and, if necessary,
repair the coating or
replace the fuel tank. The
recall is expected to begin
during September 2008.

August
2007 -- Mazda is
recalling 76,000 MY
1998-2002 B-Series trucks
equipped with a speed
control system. The speed
control deactivation switch
may, under certain
conditions, leak internally
and then overheat, smoke, or
burn. This could result in
an underhood fire. Dealers
will install a fused wiring
harness. The manufacturer
has not yet provided an
owner notification schedule
for this recall. This recall
was the subject of an
Engineering Analysis,
EA05-005, conducted by the
Office of Defects
Investigation. 07V-347
NHTSA
is also recalling 2,600

wheel hub may fail
during driver-side air
bag deployment in
extremely low
temperatures
