2005 Mazda MAZDA3 recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
On two passenger vehicles, a crack in the solder connection attaching the acceleration sensor in the sas unit made contact with the base plate, damaging the solder connection.
💥 The risk
The airbag may not deploy when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash and it CAN cause serious injuries.
🔧 The fix
Dealers repaired these vehicles. The two vehicle owners were contacted by telephone on november 22, 2004, and these vehicles have been repaired.
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.)
