The 2009 Mazda B-Series Truck has 4 recalls, all involving Takata airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
Both the driver-side and passenger-side front airbag inflators are affected. The inflators can degrade over time, particularly with exposure to heat and humidity, and when they rupture they throw sharp metal fragments toward the occupants rather than deploying safely. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist covering different geographic regions. Owners in high-heat, high-humidity areas were prioritized in earlier rounds, but the concern extends to vehicles registered across all U.S. states and territories.
