Air bags: frontal: passenger side: inflator moduleReported October 31, 2019 · 69,879 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2007-2012 CX-7, CX-9, and 2009-2012 Maza6 vehicles. These vehicles had their passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
Risk
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2019. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1‑800‑222‑5500, option 4. Mazda's number for this recall is 1317F. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 16V356 and 17V012.

Takata recall VIN: [xxx] I have repeatedly called the dealership (suburban auto collection of troy - michigan) suburban mazda of troy for the past 1-2 years asking them to check and see if our vehicle is on the takata airbag recall list and they have confirmed everytime that it was not. I checked the federal safety agency website and confirmed that their is an active recall on the airbag for our cx-9. We were not called or informed (as they said they would do). We did not receive the proper notification from takata or the mazda dealership. Our vehicle was either apart of the recall from the start or it was added later when the recall was expanded, however we never received anything telling us to have the airbag inflator replaced. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall, entering VIN in this site does not result in a recall for air bags shown. Entering on the mazda site indicates there is a recall. However it also says solution is not available. It indicates via a map that I am in zone 2 (north carolina. However the vehicle is extensively used in south carolina which is in zone 1...the first to be replaced.. I would like confirmation and a proposed time line for repair. If this can not be completed within the next 30 days I would like the ability to disable the passenger side airbag until a replacement/repair can be affected.

Takata recall - this is ridiculous. I cannot use all 7 seats in my 7-passenger vehicle and there is no end in sight. Parts are not available and nobody can give any reasonable estimates of when they will be available. Please allow people affected to go to their dealers to have the faulty airbags removed/disconnected until parts are available. We need to be able to use our vehicles fully.
