The 1995 Mazda MX-6 has 3 recalls, the most serious being an ignition switch that can overheat and start a fire inside the vehicle.
Grease inside the ignition switch can become electrically conductive over time, causing the switch to overheat. Because this sits at the heart of the car's electrical system, the heat buildup raises a real fire risk each time the vehicle is started. On the fuel side, the fuel filler pipe can have a gap between its inner and outer sections that allows fuel vapor, and in some cases raw liquid fuel, to escape around the fuel cap. Beyond the obvious fire and vapor hazard, this also means the vehicle does not meet Canadian evaporative emissions standards. The third recall involves the engine's emissions control calibration, which can drift with age and cause carbon monoxide output to climb above the allowable limit under Canadian exhaust emissions rules.
At a glance
What can fail
Grease at the ignition switch contact points may become conductive and overheat in certain 1989–1998 Mazda vehicles.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the ignition switch at no charge.

At a glance
What can fail
The engine's emission control system may not reduce carbon monoxide sufficiently during normal operation, causing exhaust emissions to exceed legal limits.
What the fix does
Dealers will install an engine intake kit that increases airflow to improve combustion and reduce carbon monoxide emissions.

At a glance
What can fail
The fuel cap may not seal properly against the fuel filler pipe due to incorrect dimensions in the pipe assembly. Fuel vapor or raw fuel can leak into the atmosphere.
What the fix does
Dealers will install a modified fuel cap o-ring to create a proper seal.
