Mazda has issued a worldwide recall to fix defective fog lamps, which have faulty wiring and could catch fire. More than 174,000 vehicles are affected worldwide, including 78,500 in Japan, though no accidents resulting from this problem have been reported. Cars affected are Mazda 6 models built between March 2002 and May 2003, MX-5 roadsters built between December 1997 and February 2003 (also known as the Miata or Eunos), and the MPV, built between May 1999 and February 2003. The 6 is also being investigated for a potentially faulty brake oil-tank sensor, which could fail to illuminate the low-oil warning light. Owners are advised to contact Mazda Customer Services for more information.

wat a waste .....always thought Mazda 6 not bad....now got to rethink again when getting this model .....

So the similarity with the new Honda Accord is more than skin deep?

 

Seriously though, this is better than ignoring the problem, which many major and 'reputable' manufacturers have done...

I personally do not believe that there will be a fault-free design.

 

This is probably the best thing any manufacturer can do. Recall and rectify, before anything happens, even at the expense of bad publicity.
