Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a safety notice about some Mazda cars. The front passenger airbag may not work safely because a part inside can break after many years of damp air.

What's happening? The airbag’s small gas generator can rust over time. If it rusts, the airbag might explode too hard when it opens. Metal pieces could fly out and hurt people inside.

Does this affect me? If you own or ride in a Mazda CX8, CX9, or RX8 made in France, this could affect you.

What should I do? Take your car to a Mazda dealer right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel hurt after an airbag goes off.
