Mazda’s been on a roll for years with the Mazda3, having won AJAC Canadian Car of the Year awards a half-dozen times. It’s a favourite of many automobile writers and is a model I recommend test driving to anyone looking for a new compact car.
Issue:
An electrical problem may cause the windshield wipers to stop working.
Safety Risk:
Windshield wipers that do not work could affect a driver’s visibility under certain conditions. This 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 front body control module with an improved one.
On certain vehicles equipped with hand-operated parking brakes, the rear brake caliper protective boot on the parking brake system may not perform as intended, causing the parking brake actuator shaft to corrode. Over time, the actuator shaft may become stuck in the brake caliper body which could lead to decreased parking brake holding force or cause the parking brake to drag while driving. Decreased parking brake holding force could cause the vehicle to roll away if parked on a slope which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the rear caliper assemblies as necessary.
