What Happened
The door latch mounting screws in your Mazda6 keep your doors secure. Over time, these screws can work loose and cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the screws become loose, your door latch won't engage properly. This means your door could open while you're driving, which could lead to an accident or injury.
Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will apply a special adhesive to the door screws to keep them in place, and then retighten them for you – at no cost to you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready.
