Mazda Recall


Mazda Motor Corp. has recalled 215,000 Mazda3 and Mazda5 sedans because they can experience a sudden loss of power steering while the car is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash, federal safety regulators said Tuesday.

The Mazda recall involves model year 2007-2009 Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles built from April 2007 through November 2008. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that it has received at least 33 complaints alleging steering problems in the 2007 to 2009 model-year Mazda vehicles.

According to the NHTSA site, Mazda will begin notifying owners of the 2007-2009 models about the recall in September.

This recall announcement comes on the same day that GM announced a recall of 250,000 crossover vehicles worldwide.
