Mazda front cross member may corrode after exposure to road salt.
The short version
Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the front control arm. Here is what owners need to know.
The front cross member may corrode after exposure to road salt.
Corrosion may weaken the mounting point for the passenger side lower control arm, unexpectedly changing the steering alignment and increasing the risk of a crash.
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the cross member and either install a side member and drain hose and apply wax to protect from rust, or install a drain hose and an improved front cross member, free of charge.
