4 recalls across 5 model years
The Mazda MX-6 has 4 recalls covering the 1993-1997 model years, with the most serious being an ignition switch defect across all 1993-1997 vehicles where grease inside the switch can become electrically conductive, cause the switch to overheat, and start a fire.
The 1993 model year has a separate suspension concern where the front lower ball joint retaining bolts may not have been tightened to the correct torque, allowing the front suspension to fail while driving and causing sudden, total loss of steering control. The 1995 model year has two compliance-related recalls: one involves the fuel filler pipe, where a dimensional mismatch between the inner and outer pipe sections can allow fuel vapor or raw fuel to escape at the fuel cap connection, and the other involves exhaust emissions where carbon monoxide output can drift above the allowable standard as the emissions control calibration degrades with extended use.
