05- Lights And Instruments#2025275
1,289 units affected
Issue: Under certain conditions, a software problem in the dynamic stability control (DSC) unit could cause the traction control system (TCS) / DSC indicator light not to turn on. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: An indicator that doesn't turn on could cause you not to be aware of a problem with the TCS/DSC system. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mazda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the DSC unit with an improved part.
- Airbag#2024538
7,274 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the driver-front and passenger-front airbags to deploy with too much force in certain crashes. Safety Risk: An airbag that inflates with too much force could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Mazda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the airbag control module software.
- Fuel System#2021696
20,762 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the fuel pump could fail. If this happens, the engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power while driving could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mazda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump.
- Structure#2019321

Issue: On certain cars, a metal bracket for the under-body cover may not be properly welded. This could cause the bracket to detach from the car while driving.

Corrective Actions: Mazda will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to replace the undercover.
- Powertrain#2019043
1,353 units affected
Issue: A problem with the automatic transmission could cause it to downshift suddenly. This may cause the rear wheels to slow abruptly and create a loss of vehicle stability.

Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an update to the transmission control module (TCM).
