2007-2014 Mazda CX-9 Recalled For Corrosion Problem: Over 193000 Owners Affected - The Car Connection

Mazda has issued a recall for nearly 200,000 Mazda CX-9 crossovers from the 2007 to 2014 model years. The CX-9's problem is rooted in the front suspension ball joints, which may be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is limited to 2007-2014 Mazda CX-9 vehicles manufactured between October 24, 2006 and December 28, 2013. Mazda says that 193,484 owners in the U. S. are affected. Due to a shortage of parts, Mazda is rolling out this recall in three distinct phases. Because the corrosion problem is worsened by de-icing salts used on roads during winter months, phase one of the recall will focus on older vehicles -- specifically, those from model years 2007, 2008, and 2009 -- that are registered in... The second phase of the recall will focus on 2010-2014 CX-9 vehicles in the same northern states. Mazda plans to mail interim notices to owners in early September 2015, explaining.
