2002–2003 Mazda MAZDA6 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." during production, the float in the fluid level sensor in the brake reservoir CAN be forced off of the guide rail during the filling of the master cylinder.
💥 The risk
Should this occur, it is possible that the float will not return to the guide rail and the brake fluid level warning indicator may not function.
🔧 The fix
Mazda has not yet provided a remedy for this campaign. Owner notification began july 14, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
