What is being recalled
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, to October 10, 2014. If the pressures of four of the tires on an affected vehicle gradually drop at the same time, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may not warn the driver of the drop in pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System."
Why it is dangerous
A vehicle that is driven with under inflated tires may experience a sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 14V-675 when calling a dealer.
