3 recalls across 3 model years
The Mazda GLC has 3 recalls covering 1977-1981 model years, with the most serious affecting 1977 sedans and wagons in eastern Canadian provinces, where road salt corrodes the steering idler arm pin, causing progressively stiffer steering that can ultimately lead to the pin disintegrating and a complete loss of steering control.
On 1978 models equipped with the long sash guide for the upper shoulder belt, the upper anchorage bolt may have been improperly reinstalled during prior vehicle service, allowing it to loosen and pull free over time, which leaves the shoulder portion of the seatbelt without a secure attachment point in a crash. The third recall covers 1981 models fitted with air conditioning, where the throttle positioning system can activate unintentionally and degrade the catalytic converter, raising exhaust emissions above compliant levels.
