Mazda software error in the air bag control module may cause the front air bags to deploy with excessive force during a crash.
The short version
Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the air bag/restraint control module software. Here is what owners need to know.
A software error in the air bag control module may cause the front air bags to deploy with excessive force during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
An air bag that deploys with excessive force can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the Sophisticated Air Bag Sensor (SAS) control module software, free of charge.
