Not all recalls are the same, as many deal with issues that may actually expose drivers and passengers to major risks. Mazda issued a recall recently that is particularly concerning as it deals with problems that may lead to injuries.
According to the official announcement, about 7,800 units of the 2018 Maxda CX-9 SUVs maycome with wiring harness that could disrupt electrical communications while the vehicle is in use. In this case, the system may disable the frontal passenger air bag. In the case of an accident, the passenger may end up suffering serious and potentially deadly injuries.
The company stated that the issue may also lead to a turn signal failure or an engine starting issue. In either case, accidents are possible.
