Details
What's wrong: As a result of an ncap test, certain passenger vehicles are being recalled for improperly wired front passenger seat air bags.
Why it matters: The air bag will not provide adequate protection when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a new wiring harness in the front passenger seat air bag system. The recall began March 5, 2004. Owners should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
