   Electrical System / Ignition / Switch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 1989-1998 MPV, 1990-1995 323, 1990-1998 Protege, 1992-1993 MX-3, 1993-1995 929, 1993-1997 MX-6, and 1993-1998 626 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire.

   Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8715J.

2. 95V103005Received 24 May 1995. 360,433 units.

   Seat Belts / Front / Buckle Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tugging on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, and then pressing the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows a sign of breaking or cracking or if either buckle fails to operate properly, owners should promptly contact their authorized dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.

   Report filed by MAZDA (NORTH AMERICA),INC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 Dec 1995.

3. 92V027000Received 27 Feb 1992. 95,074 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Drum / Shoes/Linings

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   The rear brake linings can change over time. As the brakes wear, the coefficient of friction can increase, producing inconsistent rear brake performance and premature activation of the ABS system.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Inconsistent braking and premature activation of the abssystem can cause sudden stops or increased braking distances, and result inincreased risk of vehicle accident.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Replace the rear brake assemblies with assemblies whose friction characteristics do not change. This will reduce the risk of premature ABS system activation.

   Report filed by MAZDA (NORTH AMERICA),INC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 22 May 1992.
