Mazda Motor Corp. is recalling 269,600 cars in the U.S. to replace Takata Corp. passenger-side frontal airbag inflators that could explode when triggered in a crash.
The callback involves certain 2004-2006 MPV and 2003-2008 Mazda6 and 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 sedans.
The same Mazda6 cars were recalled last September to replace Takata inflators for the driver-side frontal airbag inflators that have the same flaw. The earlier campaign also targeted 2004-2008 model RX-8 sports cars.
Mazda’s latest Takata recall is the latest among multiple campaigns by 19 carmakers involving roughly 50 million devices in the U.S. alone. The exploding inflators have been linked to 22 fatalities in the American market.
