The 2000 Mazda B Series has two recalls, the more serious being a front seatbelt buckle that may not fully latch, leaving the driver or front passenger without proper restraint in a crash.
The second recall is a lighting compliance issue: the fog lamps can be switched on while the headlights and all other exterior lamps are off, meaning the vehicle can be driven at night with fog lights as the only visible light source, with no tail lamps, parking lamps, or license plate illumination lit.
