Suspension: front: control arm: lower ball joint
- What is wrong
- Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 CX-9 vehicles manufactured October 24, 2006, to December 28, 2013. The affected vehicles have front suspension ball joints that may corrode from water leaking into the fitting.
- Risk
- Over time, the ball joint corrosion may result in the front lower control arm separating from the ball joint, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both the left and right lower control arms, free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2015. The recall will begin with model year 2007-2009 vehicles registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The second phase will be for model year 2010-2014 vehicles in the same states. Finally, all remaining vehicles will be remedied. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1‑800‑222‑5500.

Lower ball joint separation
In an July 7,2015 letter to the federal safety agency, Mazda identified a safety defect that could result in lower ball joint separation in approximately 193,484 model year (MY) 2007 through 2014 Mazda CX-9 vehicles (the federal safety agency Recall No. 15V‑451,Mazda 8515G).Mazda indicated that damage to the ball joint boot may allow water to enter the front suspension ball joint fitting during use which may result in premature ball joint wear and a progressively looser joint.In January 2014, Mazda implemented redesigned lower control arms in production vehicles to improve the durability of the lower ball joints.The redesign involved changing the shape of the top surface of the ball joint boot cover and adding a suspension plate to the undersurface of the knuckle.Mazda's recall will replace the defect lower control arms with the redesigned parts.ODI's analysis of information collected during PE15-022 identified a total of 62 ball joint separation incidents, including 34 identified in ODI complaints and 31 identified in Mazda complaints and field reports (3 of the Mazda records involve vehicles/incidents that were also reported to ODI).When Mazda's design change was implemented, most of the field experience related to lower ball joints involved complaints of noise and premature wear-out.Only 1 of the ODI and 6 of the additional Mazda separation complaints identified in ODI's analysis were reported prior to January 2014.Significant increases in the number and trend in separation complaints were observed in 2015, when 30 of the ODI complaints and 16 of the additional Mazda complaints were reported.The report trend appears to be accelerating, with 29 of the reports received after ODI opened PE15-022 on June 9, 2015.There has been one crash reported to ODI related to the alleged defect (VOQ 10746510). This investigation is closed based on Mazda's recall.The 34 VOQs associated with this investigation are: 10747358, 10746510, 10744897, 10743509, 10736229, 10735938, 10734763, 10734302, 10734290, 10733813, 10732578, 10732217, 10732154, 10731850, 10730736, 10730280, 10730143, 10730114, 10726622, 10726480 10726448, 10726168, 10725839, 10725567, 10725488, 10725427, 10725390, 10717510, 10714469, 10695142, 10668978, 10648429, 10640541, 10546535

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mazda cx-9. While driving approximately 20 MPH, a snap noise was heard from the front driver's side of the vehicle. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The contact managed to drive into a parking lot and the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact stated that the vehicle was recalled and repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v451000 (suspension) approximately two years ago, but the failure recurred. The contact called the same dealer (oak lawn mazda, 708‑233‑7700, located at 6750 w 95th st, oak lawn, il 60453) and was informed that the warranty expired; therefore, the failure would not be covered by the recall again. The contact called the manufacturer, but no one answered the phone. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not provided.
Recall: ball joint corrosion from water leaking into the fitting. It was replaced 2 years ago for free due to the recall. Now, the ball joints have again corroded, but dealer claiming this is not covered by the recall.
There was a recall on control arms I have had the repairs done 3 times I believe these are causing other damages to the car! That cannot stay repaired the same things continue to break on this over and over!! I want to get rid of this car. I owe way more than it's value. However I can't trade it in because of these recalls and it being unfixable
In 2016 I got a recall #8515g and that was performed by mazda dealer on march 16 2016 (see doc attached) after the recall we have starting hearing a horrible noise, and mostly in winter, so I have took again to mazda to inspect twice but they have hear that noise and have found anything. This past weekend they were more deeply on this inspection and what they found is the rf low control arm joint (ball joint) has play rf outer tie rod end has play too (see attached report from mazda) the costs estimates to fix this problem is about $587 plus taxes.. What they say about the noise is probably comes from this issues which was supposed fixed by the recall but after 20000 miles this issues is coming again.. What they say this is not normal kind of this repairs could be longer than 10 years with not such a issues.. My concerns are the safety on my family, now my wife and my grandkids are driving this car everyday, and I'm putting them on a unsafety situation by this recall....
