The team of staff members at Fox Mazda is always focused on keeping our customers informed in the event of any issues that lead to a recall. Unfortunately Mazda just made an announcement of a wide ranging recall with an estimated total of 2,300,000 vehicles affected worldwide. The root of the issue stems from a problematic reaction that road salt can have on the rear hatches of certain models, which can cause it to break entirely.
Owners of a 2010-13 Mazda3, 2012-15 Mazda5, 2013-16 Mazda CX-5 or 2016 Mazda CX-3 will find themselves affected by the corrosion that can occur in the material that supports the rear hatch, and are highly encouraged to have these parts replaced for no cost to you. Mazda vows to replace both lift supports, with a stronger anti-corrosion coating to greater protect from road salt.
If you're an owner of an affected vehicle, the experts in our service center will happily resolve the issue as soon as possible. Our dealership is conveniently located at 3560 28th Street in Grand Rapids, MI for any service needs or inventory curiosity you may have, just stop in today and see for yourself!
