Mazda cxc 7 2012 there is a safety recall due to front front suspension ball joint fitting that can cause the ball joint and lower control arm to seperate. This can cause loss of steering control increasing risk of a crash. I called bright bay Mazda in bayshore NY 1-631-666-6100 and was advised to bring car in. I did and it was looked over. I was it did not need immediate attention on 11/21/2016 and that when the parts came in they would fix the car. I called today 1/19/18 and was told they still dont have the part and that this is a preliminary notice that gets sent to car owners per sherry at Mazda. Seriously 2 years and no resolution. I want to file a complaint.

Got a recall alert in the mail in Oct 2016 but states they will reach out when parts are available. It's almost March 2017 and they are still saying they don't have the parts. The description in the recall references salt in the winter ultimately corroding the ball joint. Sounds like a significant risk to me.
