The airbag warning light has come on. My mechanic and open road Mazda said the sad control module is bad. Dashboard light goes off when it's very hot out. If I drive through a puddle. I was informed that the module is behaving exactly like the recalled modules on the VIN numbers both before and after my VIN. I believe the module in my truck with the above mentioned VIN should also be a safety recall. Mazda said NHTSA must order them to fix it as a recall before they will fix it.

I received a legal notice for defected airbag( takata airbag inflators) and I believe that my vehicle, Mazda Cx-5 is on your recall list but when I confirmed with Mazda dealership, they told me there is no recall for airbag. So I want to know who is correct or not. Since I received the notice I've been concerning about it.

The passenger airbag light came on and continues to flash. Went to dolan Mazda dealership to determine the issue. The passenger airbag sensor was bad. Needs to be replaced. Evidently, this has happened on other vehicles. The car is not even 4 years old yet. The sensors should last longer than that.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 Mazda Cx-5. the contact stated that the recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 16V644000 (air bags) was received in September. After contacting the dealer and the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be provided. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Since my car was new, I have had a recurring problem with the passenger airbag sensor indicating that the passenger seat is not occupied when in fact there is an adult passenger in the seat. Since the problem is sporadic and I haven't been able to recreate it for the Mazda mechanic, Mazda says nothing is wrong, but there is clearly a problem that is potentially serious. Most recently I have noticed that the problem occurs shortly after starting the engine, after the airbag system has gone through its initial check and the light has gone out. It may then come back on and will remain on for the duration of the trip with a passenger seated the entire time. I saw the recall today of Nissan for what sounds like a very similar, if not identical, problem. I am extremely concerned that in the event of an accident, my passenger would not have airbag protection.
