What Happened
The door latch on your Mazda6 is a mechanism that keeps your doors closed while you're driving. In your vehicle, the screws that hold this latch in place can become loose over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the screws get too loose, the latch won't work properly, and your door might open while you're driving. This could lead to an accident or injury, especially if you're on the move.
Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will apply a special adhesive to keep the screws in place and then retighten them for you – all at no charge to you. You'll get a notice when it's time to schedule the repair.
