The short version

Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Water could possibly enter the brake caliper causing the parking brake actuator shaft to corrode and possibly bind.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the parking brake actuator shaft binds, the parking brake may not engage or disengage fully. If the parking brake does not engage properly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly if it is parked on a slope, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will check the parking brake actuator shafts, replacing any that are corroded, free of charge.
