Has your Mazda been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

1990 Mazda RX-7 recalls, newest first

September 16, 1996NHTSA 96V17300017,800 vehicles potentially affected

Seat belts › Front › Webbing

Summary: The rail of the automatic shoulder belt can wear sufficiently such that the cable which retracts the buckle assembly will become jammed in the rail rendering the shoulder belt inoperative.
Consequence: In the event of a vehicle collision, the occupant would not be adequately restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
Remedy: Dealers will replace inoperative shoulder belts. Mazda has extended the warranty coverage on the driver and passenger automatic shoulder belt rail and motor for the life of the vehicle.

Air bags › Frontal

Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Threaded inflator components may have been damaged during assembly which may allow components to separate when inflator receives a signal to deploy the air bag.
Consequence: Inflator component separation allows hot combustion gases to escape into the passenger compartment which could result in injuries to vehicle occupants.
Remedy: Replace air bag modules containing potentially defective inflators.
