JANUARY 2009 --
Mazda is recalling 220 MY
2009 B-series trucks
equipped with 2- wheel
drive. The front spindle
stem may crack due to an
improper manufacturing
process of the spindle. If a
fracture of the spindle stem
occurs, the wheel may
separate from the axle,
which may result in a loss
of steering, increasing the
risk of a crash without
warning. Dealers will
inspect the front spindle
and replace it if necessary
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin on or
before February 9, 2009.
Owners may contact Mazda at
800-222-5500.

conditions, leak

overheat, smoke, or
burn. This could result
in an underhood fire.

fused wiring harness.

yet provided an owner
