Mazda will recall 41,918 units of the 2009-2010 Mazda6 in the United States for a problem with the airbag control unit. The safety problem with these sedans is that they don’t have a sufficient protective coating on the airbag control unit’s power supply. After discussing the issue with the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the government agency requested the business conduct a recall. To rectify the problem, Mazda dealers will replace the airbag control unit. The 2009-2011 Mazda6 is also part of a recently expanded recall to replace their Takata-supplied airbag inflators.
