“Tamara recall. I do not understand what could take so long to repair something that could be fatal to a driver. I waited 10months on first repair and now already at 9 months and no information on second recall which is now the drivers side !”
NHTSA complaint #10937967, filed 2016-12“Takata recall still waiting for permanent replacement, should I continue to drive the vehicle ? Is Mazda corp. Required to give me alternate transportation while I wait for new air bags ?”
NHTSA complaint #11092389, filed 2018-05“Takata recall - Mazda recall number 9116a, NHTSA recall number 16v-048 I was informed by letter about this recall well over a year ago, but the status still remains recall incomplete, remedy not yet available . My dealership cannot advise if or when parts will be available. I am very concerned because it was a Mazda b2300 series pickup a year newer than mine which blew up and killed a person, initiating this recall of both Mazda and ford ranger branded Mazda pickups. The failure rate of these inflators increases rapidly with vehicle age.”
