Mazda Japan has issued a recall notice for 173,859 vehicles, specifically including the 2011 Mazda 2, 2010-2011 Mazda 3 and 2010-2011 Mazdaspeed 3. All three recalled vehicles were assembled in Japan between October 7, 2008 and September 30, 2010.

Mazda recalls nearly 174,000 vehicles due to seat defects.

The cause of this problem is related to a defect in some details of the car seat. Accordingly, the height adjustment links of the seat are not durable enough, causing cracks during use and the push beads are pushed out of the seat frame.

If used continuously for a long time, this part may break, causing the seat to tilt suddenly, making it impossible for the driver to maintain a proper driving position, potentially causing a dangerous accident while driving.

Previously, Mazda Japan received feedback from customers about the above error around the end of February. Currently, the company has sent a notice to customers whose vehicles are affected to bring them to dealers for inspection and repair.

If the vehicles show no signs of cracking, dealers will add reinforcements and increase the number of push beads to increase the durability of the seat frame.
