What This Recall Means

Component

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM

What Happened
The front control arm in your Mazda6 helps keep your front wheels stable and on track. In some 2009-2010 models, the metal underneath can corrode from road salt, weakening the control arm's connection.
Risk if Unfixed
If this corrosion happens, the control arm could break, causing your steering to pull to one side. This could make it harder to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Mazda dealer will inspect the control arm's mounting point and either add protection against rust or replace the cross member with a stronger version – both fixes are free of charge. You'll get a notification when it's time to schedule the repair.
