The 1990 Mazda MPV has two recalls, the more serious being an ignition switch that can overheat due to conductive grease inside the switch contacts, raising the risk of a fire.
The second recall affects vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes: the brake shoes can develop higher-than-normal friction and trigger the ABS system earlier than expected, producing an unexpected noise and unusual pedal feel that may startle the driver and lead to an inappropriate response at the wheel.
