The 2007 Mazdaspeed6 has 4 recalls, the most serious being airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, with risk of serious injury or death.
The driver-side and passenger-side frontal airbag inflators are susceptible to moisture over time, which can cause them to explode rather than inflate normally. The passenger-side inflator carries an additional layer of concern: some vehicles that had the passenger airbag inflator replaced under a prior recall received a replacement of the same design, meaning that earlier repair did not fully resolve the risk and those vehicles remain affected. Taken together, both seating positions face the same underlying danger of metal fragments from a ruptured inflator reaching anyone in the front of the vehicle during a crash.
On the fuel side, the fuel pump mounting rings can leak gasoline, and if that fuel reaches a heat source or spark, it raises the risk of a fire under the vehicle.
