Owners have filed 184 complaints
about the 2007 Mazda MAZDA6 with NHTSA between 2006 and 2026.
The largest single group is the airbags.
Across this model's run it ranks 4 of 18 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 57
Against the median year of the Mazda MAZDA6. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 98
19% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 42
25% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing

owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2007 Mazda MAZDA6
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants.

Recalls on the 2007 Mazda MAZDA6
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2004-2005 MPV, 2004 RX-8, and 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 vehicles. These vehicles had their passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 and 2004 MPV vehicles nationwide. Mazda is also recalling 2005-2006 MPV vehicles in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On July 9, 2019 this recall was expanded to include certain 2004-2011 RX-8 vehicles that were previously recalled under 16V-354 but have not yet been repaired. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these passenger air bag inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2004-2008 RX-8, and 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion and other factors, including manufacturing variability that, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.
Risk: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Recall 201857842,826 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, the passenger frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013-112 (Mazda Recall 6913D), 2014-245 (Mazda Recall 7714F), 2015-624 (Mazda Recall 9015L), 2016-259 (Mazda Recall 9416E) and 2017-011 (Mazda Recall 0617A).
Recall 201803638,909 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Additional Note: This recall supersedes recall 2015-247 (Mazda Recall 8215F). Vehicles completed under 2015-247 do not need to be completed under recall 2018-036.

TAKATA RECALL, OVER A YEAR AGO I DID HAVE A AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY INFLATOR , WHICH WAS FOR MY MAZDA 6 2007, I DID HAVE ONE OF THEM REPLACED, NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE OR THE DRIVER SIDE NOW, BUT ONLY ONE WAS REPLACED AT THE TIME BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS RECALLED AT THAT TIME, THE DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE OTHER SIDE TO BE RECALL, SO WHAT IF I HAD A ACCIDENT IN THE MEANTIME? THE OTHER AIRBAG WOULDN'T WORK, BECAUSE IT HADN'T BEEN REPLACED? NOT VERY GOOD! THE DEALER DIDN'T SEEM TO THRILLED WITH THE WHOLE INFLATOR RECALL THING AND DIDN'T HAVE VERY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT, WHICH MADE ME WORRY ABOUT IF THE DARN THING WOULD WORK AT ALL! WELL NOT TOO LONG AFTER I GOT THE SECOND RECALL NOTE FOR THE OTHER SIDE INFLATOR TO BE FIXED I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT! GREAT! WELL, I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT 70MPH, THE CAR WAS HIT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND I WAS THROWN INTO A SPIN, NOW, I WAS NOT HIT IN THE FRONT, NOR DID I ACTUALLY HIT DEAD ON IN THE FRONT OF ANYTHING! BUT MY WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. MY RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG DID DEPLOY AND SAVE ME FROM A MASSIVE HEAD INJURY! THE CAR DID AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO IN A BACKEND COLLISION, IT FOLDED UP, THE BACK END TOOK THE BLUNT OF THE 70MPH FORCE, AND SAVED ME! I WALKED OUT OF THE CAR! BUT THE CAR WAS TOTALED! MY ONLY QUESTION AND IT WAS A QUESTION OF A FEW OTHER PEOPLE... WAS WHY DID NOT THE FRONT END AIR BAD DEPLOY? WAS IT NOT SUPPOSED TO? BECAUSE IT HAD NOT BEEN IT HIT HARD ENOUGH? OR BECAUSE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED? NOT SURE? ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THANK GOODNESS IN A WAY I GOT HIT FROM BEHIND AND NOT IN THE FRONT, BECAUSE I AM NOT SO SURE IF I COULD OF DEPENDED ON THE FRONT AIRBAGS WORKING CORRECTLY! SO MY ACCIDENT MAY HAVE HAD A TOTALLY DIFFERENT OUTCOME!
