Infiltration of water may affect the functionality of the parking brake. The other two were announced in July and November 2018. Both include production between 6/2002 – 6/2005 and both have a common denominator in the defective airbag inflator. First with the driver, while the second with the co-driver side of the vehicle.
In June, the owners of the Mazda RX-8 could learn that with cars produced between 7/2003 – 2/2008, cracks can form on the socket of the front lower transverse link.
