Mazda in the affected vehicles, water may enter the front suspension ball joint fittings.
The short version
Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the control arm lower ball joint. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, water may enter the front suspension ball joint fittings. If the water is contaminated with salt, such as from driving on snowy roads that have been treated, the ball joint may corrode and separate from the lower control arm, resulting in a loss of steering control.
A loss of steering control can increase the risk of a crash.
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both front lower control arms, free of charge.
