Mazda Recalls 2014-2015 Mazda6 Vehicles for Tire Pressure Monitoring Defect

Mazda is recalling 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles because the tire pressure monitoring system may fail to warn drivers if all four tires lose pressure simultaneously, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (tire failure leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured between October 25, 2012, and October 10, 2014. The recall involves approximately 99,711 vehicles.

The defect involves the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). If the pressures of all four tires on an affected vehicle gradually drop at the same time, the system may not warn the driver of the pressure drop. This failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 means drivers may not be alerted to under-inflated tires, which can lead to sudden tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
