Mazda Mazda3 Sport

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, if the ignition switch is left in the "ON" position for too long, it could drain the battery. As a result, when the battery is recharged, and the vehicle is restarted, the airbag warning light will turn on and the airbags won't work in a crash. 

Safety Risk: 
Airbags that don't work properly could increase the 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 inspect and, as necessary, update the vehicle software or replace the airbag sensor unit.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image to flicker or not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. 
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a dynamic guideline rearview monitor and/or the 360-degree monitor. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. 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 update the view monitor control module software.

Issue:

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:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the plastic logo on the steering wheel airbag cover could become brittle over time. If this happens, the logo could shatter and could become a projectile when the airbag inflates in a crash.

Loose parts that are projected toward the occupants when an airbag inflates could increase the risk of an injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mazda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the steering wheel airbag cover.
