What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE

What Happened
The air bag control unit in your Mazda6 is a critical safety system that helps your air bags deploy in a crash. In some 2009-2010 models, the protective coating on this unit might not be doing its job, which could let moisture in and cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag control unit fails, the air bag warning light will turn on, and your air bags might not deploy in an accident. This could lead to serious injury, as the air bags are designed to help protect you in a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will replace the faulty air bag control unit with a new one, at no cost to you. You'll need to wait until parts become available, and the repair will be done as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 for more information.
