Air Bag Light On problem
1 The air bag light came on. I called Mazda to see if there was a recall because I feel this is a safety issue. The light is for the driver position. Mazda (local) states no recall for my SUV but to bring SUV in for a fee to check it out and additional fee if needed. I was advised by Mazda north american operations ok to continue to drive but do have it checked out. They are working with me with this issue.
