Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 Mazda b404 se xa. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 16v346000 (air bags) for the front passenger side air bag inflator and 16v048000 (air bags) for the front driver side air bag inflator. The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall - Mazda recall number 9116a, NHTSA recall number 16v-048 I was informed by letter about this recall well over a year ago, but the status still remains "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available". My dealership cannot advise if or when parts will be available. I am very concerned because it was a Mazda b2300 series pickup a year newer than mine which blew up and killed a person, initiating this recall of both Mazda and Ford ranger branded Mazda pickups. The failure rate of these inflators increases rapidly with vehicle age.
