The 1992 Mazda Protege has two recalls, the more serious being an ignition switch that can overheat and start a fire due to conductive grease building up on its internal contact points.
The second recall is a compliance issue: the owner's manual contains incorrect installation instructions for child seat tether anchorages, meaning parents following the printed guide may not be securing a child restraint properly.
