435 of 17,656 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain vehicles, the front stabilizer bar link stud can fracture from bending fatigue. This can result in increased vehicle lean or the driver may sense a feeling of looseness in the steering. Above 80 km/h drivers may experience vehicle wander or sway.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install 10mm front left and right stabilizer bar links.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, A FRONT SWAY BAR LINK CAN FRACTURE.
VEHICLE HANDLING COULD BE AFFECTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS.
On certain 325I and 330I vehicles, the inner rim flange of the wheel rims may have incurred damage during fitting of the tire. In extreme cases, this could lead to a sudden loss of tire pressure and result in loss of vehicle control.
No risk description available.
All five wheels will be inspected for damage to the inner rim flange. If pertinent damage is found on any wheel, all five wheels will be replaced.
On certain vehicles, the front suspension lower ball joints may not have been tightened to specifications during manufacture. This could result in loosening of the attaching nuts and, ultimately result in a fracture of the ball joint stud. This could adversely affect vehicle control and a crash could occur. Should the left side ball joint fracture, the wheel and tire could contact the fuel lines or the fuel filter potentially resulting in fuel leakage.
No risk description available.
Ball joint torque will be inspected and vehicles with loose ball joints will either have the fasteners tightened to specification or if necessary, the ball joints will be replaced.

Ball joint torque will be inspected and vehicles with loose ball joints will either have the fasteners tightened to specification or if necessary, the ball joints will be replaced.
Certain vehicles may have been built with 4X4 rear hubs instead of instead of 4X2 hubs. If the incorrect hubs are are installed on a 4X2 vehicle, the rear wheels may loosen, or in some cases, separate from the vehicle. If this occurs, vehicle control may be adversely affected, which could result in a crash.
No risk description available.
Rear hubs will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Certain vehicles may have rear wheel hubs that could loosen and allow the left rear wheel and brake drum assembly to separate from the vehicle. Separation of a rear wheel and brake drum could result in reduced vehicle control and a possible crash.
No risk description available.
Vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, rear wheel hub and bearing assembly will be replaced. In addition, a redundant left rear wheel retention device will be added to the left rear spindle.
On certain vehicles, the ball joint, between the front wheel king pin and the suspension link arm, may experience increased play which could affect durability and performance. This could result in reduced driver control.
No risk description available.
Both front ball joints will be replaced with a reinforced version.
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension lower arm or control arm could break due to improper welding. This condition could result in extreme rear wheel toe and adversely affect vehicle handling and control.
No risk description available.
Vehicle will be inspected and suspension arms with an affected lot number will be replaced.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 120 - Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars. Wheels were supplied without the required rim markings.
No risk description available.
Since there is no risk to vehicle safety, Mazda will not be taking any further action in this regard.
On certain vehicles, the lug nuts could potentially bottom out on the shoulder of the studs when used in a single rear wheel application. If this occurs, there could be inadequate clamp load to attach the wheel to the axle. This could potentially result in loss of a rear wheel while the vehicle is being driven.
No risk description available.
Rear wheel attaching studs will be replaced with a revised stud having a different profile that precludes the interference with the lug nuts.
On certain vehicles, paint may have been applied unevenly on the rear axles. In cases where the paint was too thick, the allotted drying time may have resulted in insufficient paint hardness. Should this occur on the surface that contacts the rear axle lower link bracket bolt head and/or nut, the nut may later loosen. If the nut should detach fully separation of the lower link from the rear axle could occur. This may result in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will remove the rear axle lower trailing link nuts and bolts and replace them with new self-lock nuts and bolts.
On certain vehicles, the front damper lower mounting bracket may be inadequately welded. Bracket separation could result in a deterioration of handling characteristics.
No risk description available.
Both front damper lower mounting brackets will be inspected for weld integrity. Suspect brackets will be replaced.
On certain Sidekick Sport vehicles, insufficient strength of the mounting base on the upper end of the front struts can lead to breakage of the mounting bolts that attach the upper end of the front struts to the vehicle body. This condition could adversely affect vehicle handling.
No risk description available.
A reinforcement will be added to both front struts, between the mounting base and the vehicle body. In addition, the front strut mounting bases, mounting bolts and nuts, and strut bar stays will be replaced.
On certain pickup trucks, the welds at the right side lower control arm (LCA) bracket-to-axle-tube attachment may have inadequate fatigue life due to poor weld quality. Inadequate fatigue life may lead to separation of the LCA bracket from the axle tube. If the bracket separates, the vehicle may experience reduced directional stability, braking degradation and/or vehicle pull under braking.
No risk description available.
Front axle will be replaced with a properly welded front axle.
On certain vehicles, insufficient wheel bolt torque could result in wheel separation and a possible crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Wheel bolt torque will be increased to 120nm (88lb/ft).
On certain motorcycles, the rear shock absorber eye could break. If the shock absorber eye should break, the underside of the vehicle will drag on the ground, which may adversely affect handling and could result in a crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Rear shock absorber will be replaced.
Certain sidecars may have been manufactured with an axle that could break in service. This could cause loss of control of the motorcycle and result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Sidecars will be inspected and axles will be replaced if necessary.
Certain motorcycles were built with a swingarm that could break. If this should occur, vehicle handling could be adversely affected which could lead to a vehicle crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Swingarm will be replaced on affected vehicles.
On certain vehicles, incorrect application of anti-rust coating (PVC) to the transverse link mounting surface can eventually result in a torque decrease of the bolt that secures the transverse link bracket to the vehicle body. Insufficient torque on the bracket bolts can result in loosening of the bracket and subsequent separation of the transverse link from the vehicle frame.
No risk description available.
Vehicles will be inspected and if necessary, PVC will be removed from the vehicle body under the transverse link mounting bracket bolt location and mounting bolts will be retorqued to specification.
