Like the Mazda 6 for 2008, my son's Mazda 3 2006 had the same problem with the air bag light not turning off. A Mazda dealer told him it would cost $400 to fix and the were no guarantees it would be fixed. He had it fixed by a certified mechanic who offered a guarantee. I paid for it and I think it should be recalled like the Mazda 6, as it it a matter of serious safety.
