One problem related to underbody shield has been reported for the 2004 Mazda B2300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This is the second time I've asked this same question. Ford recalled these vehicles and the Mazda "b" series pick-up is made by Ford shouldn't Mazda check theirs too? 2004 Ford ranger structure: frame and members:underbody shields summary: on certain pickup trucks, the frame may have a center rail section flange that was not formed properly. Consequence: in the event of a side impact crash, the frame rail scould puncture the fuel tank, resulting in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Remedy: dealers will inspect the frame to determine whether the frame was incorrectly manufactured. If there is a problem, the vehicle will not be repaired. Ford and the dealer will replace the vehicle. The recall began on July 19, 2004. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Notes: Ford motor company 04s19 .
