Mazda Recalls 2017 Mazda6 Vehicles Due to Turn Signal Defect

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 functional defect that increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain model year 2017 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured between August 12, 2016, and September 28, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with optional accessory fog lights. The recall is due to an incorrect combination switch being installed, which may prevent the turn signals from automatically canceling when the steering wheel is rotated. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108.

A vehicle continuously driven with the turn signal flashing may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the combination switch free of charge. The recall began in December 2016. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
