Mazda protective coating may not have been properly applied to the air bag control unit (ACU) and, as a result, moisture may damage the unit causing it to malfunction.
The short version
Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the frontal sensor/control module-inactive. Here is what owners need to know.
The protective coating may not have been properly applied to the air bag control unit (ACU) and, as a result, moisture may damage the unit causing it to malfunction.
Failure of the ACU would illuminate the air bag warning light and prevent the air bags from deploying in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the ACU, free of charge, however parts are not currently available.
