    Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2007-2012 CX-7, CX-9, and 2009-2012 Maza6 vehicles. These vehicles had their passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Investigations

An investigation records that a regulator reviewed a suspected defect. It is not itself a finding of defect and not a recall.

Consumer Complaints

NHTSA Complaint US

64 complaint records in the dataset for this vehicle and year.

Outcomes stated in those reports

  • reports mentioning a fire 1

Outcomes as stated by the person who filed the report. They are not verified, not adjudicated, and carry no exposure denominator, so they cannot be turned into a rate.

By system

  • Engine19 (22.4%)
  • Suspension19 (22.4%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2007–2012.

  • Brakes2 (2.4%)

Other / uncategorized: 3 classifications (3.5%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

A single report can name several systems, so these figures overlap and must not be added together — their sum is larger than the report total above.

A further 1,130 complaint records exist for this vehicle where the source stated no model year. They are not counted above and appear on no year page.

These are owner-submitted allegations, not confirmed defects. Counts are record counts in the dataset. No exposure denominator exists, so no failure rate or reliability score can be derived from them.
