The 2004 Mazda B-Series Truck has 3 recalls, all involving the front airbags: both the driver and passenger inflators can rupture under excessive pressure during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin.
The passenger airbag side carries an additional concern tied to earlier repair attempts. Some trucks that had their front passenger airbag inflator replaced under a prior recall may have received an incorrectly installed unit. If the inflator is not seated properly, the airbag may not inflate as intended in a crash, leaving the passenger without full cushioning when it matters most. Across all three recalls, every issue centers on the frontal airbag system, meaning the driver and passenger face some level of airbag risk whether the inflators are original or previously replaced.
