Mazda recalls more than 225,000 cars after telling parking brake may not hold
Mazda is recalling almost 228,000 cars in the U.S. because the parking brake may not fully release or could fail to hold the cars, enlargening the risk of a crash.
The recall covers certain Mazda six cars from the two thousand fourteen and two thousand fifteen model years and the Mazda three from two thousand fourteen through 2016.
The company says water can get into the brake caliper, causing a shaft to corrode and tie. If that happens, the parking brake can get stuck in the on position or fail to fully engage. That can let the cars roll unexpectedly if parked on a slope.
The problem affects only cars with a hand-operated parking brake lever system, according to documents posted Friday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The company got its very first report of the problem in April two thousand fifteen in Canada but determined to monitor it because it hadn’t received other reports. By February two thousand seventeen Mazda had thirteen reports in the U.S. of the problem happening on both models. It traced the cause to a sealing boot that wasn’t keeping water out. A collision was reported in Germany when a Mazda six spinned off unexpectedly, hurting the rear end. Another crash with bumper harm was reported in the United Kingdom. It wasn’t clear from the documents if there were any injuries.
Messages were left outside of normal business hours Friday for Mazda spokesmen to find out whether cars outside the U.S. are being recalled.
Dealers will check the rear brakes. If shafts are corroded, they’ll substitute the calipers. If not, they’ll substitute a boot that keeps water out.
Owners will be notified embarking Aug. 21.
