2006 Mazda B-Series Truck

The 2006 Mazda B-Series Truck has 5 recalls, all centered on the frontal airbags: both the driver and passenger inflators can rupture or explode when deployed, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially causing serious injury.

These airbag inflator recalls carry stop-drive advisories, meaning owners are asked not to drive the vehicle until repairs have been completed. The core danger is the same on both sides of the cabin: if either frontal airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator can fail violently rather than cushioning the occupant, turning the airbag system itself into a source of injury. There is also a fifth recall tied to a prior repair attempt that did not fully resolve the issue: some vehicles that already had their passenger-side inflator replaced under an earlier recall may have received that replacement incorrectly. An improperly installed inflator may not fully inflate the airbag in a crash, reducing the protection it provides to the front passenger at the moment it is needed most.
