The 2005 Mazda B-Series Truck has 3 recalls, all involving the frontal airbags: both the driver and passenger side inflators can rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury.
The passenger side airbag has an additional concern tied to a prior repair attempt. On trucks where the passenger inflator was previously replaced under an earlier recall, that replacement inflator may have been installed incorrectly, which can prevent the airbag from inflating properly in a crash.
