60K Mazda Vehicles Recalled For Wiring Issue

Airbags can save lives in the event of a crash, but in order to do so, they have to work properly. That’s apparently not the case for some 60,000 Mazda vehicles. The Associated Press reports that Mazda has issued a recall of 60,000 model year 2015 and 2016 Mazda 6 vehicles that may contain a wiring issue. According to the carmaker, a wiring problem in the vehicles can knock out the power-assisted steering and passenger airbag. Mazda says that wires under the front passenger seat can rub against welding debris. If this occurs the wires could short, affecting that seat’s airbag.
