NHTSA recall 10V051000
Seats · Mazda Motor Corp.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with electrically heated front seats. There is a possibility under extremely cold conditions for the seat heater control circuit to overheat and fail due to insufficient electrical grounding.
Why it matters: This may cause burn damage of the seat cushion surface, or a risk of smoke/fire.
The fix: Dealers will install an additional ground harness on the seat heater control system. The seat heater control circuit will be replaced if necessary and/or the seat will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on March 9, 2010.
