This follows investigation by Mazda in Japan and North America for three different types of Takata Corporation manufactured inflators.
All Mazda vehicles equipped with the “PSDI-4” driver-side air bag inflator, the “SDI-160” driver side air bag inflator, or the “SPI” passenger-side air bag inflator, will have to go for re-check.
In SA, estimated 8000 units are affected in South Africa.
Mazda Southern Africa will conduct a repair procedure to replace the driver-side air bag and passenger-side air bag inflator with an improved unit on the possibly affected vehicles.
Mazda SA spokesperson was not available for comment at the time of publishing.
Any Mazda owners with possibly affected Mazda6 and Mazda RX-8 vehicles are asked to contact the Mazda SA Dealer Network or the Mazda SA Customer Care Centre on 0860 069 700 or email customercare@mazda.co.za.
