Mazda affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input.
The short version
Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the steering electric power assist system. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Mazda will notify owners and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module (PSCM) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge.
