   Parking Brake

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Mazda6 and 2014-2016 Mazda3 vehicles. Water could possibly enter the brake caliper causing the parking brake actuator shaft to corrode and possibly bind.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the parking brake actuator shaft binds, the parking brake may not engage or disengage fully. If the parking brake does not engage properly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly if it is parked on a slope, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will check the parking brake actuator shafts, replacing any that are corroded, free of charge. Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed August 24, 2017. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 1217F.

   Report filed by Mazda North American Operations. Manufacturer campaign number 1217F. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Dec 2017.

2. 14V675000Received 27 Oct 2014. 99,711 units.

   Tires / Pressure Monitoring and Regulating Systems

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, to October 10, 2014. If the pressures of four of the tires on an affected vehicle gradually drop at the same time, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not warn the driver of the drop in pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A vehicle that is driven with under inflated tires may experience a sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500.

   Report filed by Mazda North American Operations. Manufacturer campaign number 8014J. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 10 Dec 2014.

3. 14V173000Received 3 Apr 2014. 5,700 units.

   Electrical System / Alternator/Generator/Regulator

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mazda3 vehicles manufactured June 12, 2013, through December 18, 2013, and model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured May 20, 2013, through December 4, 2013, and both equipped with a 2.5L engine and a regenerative engine braking system. When driving the affected vehicles in heavy rain or in deep puddles, the alternator belt may slip causing the Power Control module (PCM) to incorrectly assume failure of the charging system.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Once the PCM assumes that the charging system has failed, the vehicle will stop charging and could result in poor acceleration, loss of steering assist and windshield wiper operation, and a possible engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the PCM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7314D.

   Report filed by Mazda North American Operations. Manufacturer campaign number 7314D. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 May 2014.

4. 14V170000Received 3 Apr 2014. 19,000 units.

   Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, through May 9, 2013. In the affected vehicles, it is possible to fill the fuel tank beyond its rated capacity.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the tank is overfilled, gas may flow into the charcoal canister (an evaporative emissions component) and possibly leak from the canister's external vent, increasing the risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda will notify owners and dealers will inspect and add an adapter to the shut off valve in the fuel tank and also inspect the charcoal canister for the presence of gasoline, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7414D.

   Report filed by Mazda North American Operations. Manufacturer campaign number 7414D. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 May 2014.
