2004 Mazda B-Series Truck recalls
Passenger Air Bag May Not Inflate Properly in a Crash
Some 2004-2006 Mazda B-Series trucks received replacement front passenger air bag inflators under an earlier recall, and those replacement inflators may have been installed incorrectly.
Passenger airbag may rupture, spraying metal fragments
The passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture when the airbag deploys, because internal pressure can become excessive.
Driver Airbag May Rupture and Spray Metal Fragments
The driver-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash, because internal pressure builds up too high.
