Mazda recall #: 9516e / NHTSA recall #: 16v-356 may 25, 2016 safety risk: an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. Mazda recall #: 9716h Aug 10, 2016 safety risk: the vehicle may experience significant loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. Both are recalls that state they may result in causing the vehicle to crash or cause serious harm to the occupants in the event of a crash. Both are listed as incomplete; remedy not yet available. The manufacture should have to correct these issues ASAP. The second states on the form mailed to our home "until this repair is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat. " how is that acceptable when they are aware of the issue? thanks in advance for looking into these issues. My desired resolution is to take the vehicle ASAP to get them corrected.
