Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat.
Why it matters: If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire.
The fix: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2015.
