In a statement, the Japanese automaker said only nine percent of the 28 000 affected 2, 6 and RX-8 models recalled last year have so far been attended to, and that it will be embarking on a recall campaign to have owners bring their vehicles in for checking.
Although no incidents of rupturing airbags inflators have so been reported to any of the vehicles recalled in South Africa, including Toyota, Mitsubishi and Subaru, Mazda has indicated that owners should enter their vehicle's VIN number on www.mazda.co.za/recall or contact 0860 983 000. Alternatively, owners can also visit their nearest Mazda dealership for more information.
