If a vehicle with an affected airbag is involved in a collision, the airbag inflator could rupture, causing sharp metal fragments to enter the vehicle cabin at high speed and kill or injure vehicle occupants.

There is also a risk that the airbag may underinflate in a collision and may not protect the driver as intended.

Mazda Australia will contact all affected owners to advise of this recall action.

Owners of affected vehicles should stop driving their vehicle immediately and contact Mazda Australia www.mazda.com.au or call Mazda Australia Customer Support on 1800 931 024 to organise their free urgent vehicle inspection. 

Vehicle inspection and alternate transport options will be arranged directly with the customer.

If a recalled Eunos vehicle is identified as containing the affected type of driver airbag inflator, Mazda Australia will offer to buy back vehicles registered for road use from the owner at current market value.

Due to the age of the vehicles, replacement airbag inflators are not available. Consumers who choose to retain their vehicles until replacement parts are available should discuss vehicle storage and alternative transport arrangements with Mazda Australia.
