Mazda Recall: Accelerator Pedal Might Get Stuck Behind the Floor Mat
Mazda is recalling 1,700 MY 2007 MAZDASPEED3 passenger vehicles equipped with optional accessory all weather floor mats. There is insufficient clearance between the floor mat and accelerator pedal. In this situation it is possible that the accelerator pedal might get stuck behind the floor mat, which may prevent the vehicle from properly decelerating when the accelerator is released increasing the risk of a crash. Owners will be instructed to return the floor mat to dealers and will be shipped a new floor mat free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about March 7, 2007.

Mazda Recall: Defective Side Door Latch
Mazda is recalling 9,800 MY 2006 Mazda5 vehicles currently registered in the following states: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The side door latch mechanisms may experience water intrusion allowing the latch mechanism to freeze in cold weather. As a result, when the door is opened the door latch pawl may remain in the open position resulting in the door not being able to be closed and latched. If the vehicle is operated with an open door it may allow an unbelted occupant to be ejected from the vehicle which could result in injury or death. Dealers will replace the sliding door latches with modified latches. The recall began on December 18, 2006.
