Mazda 6 and RX8 affected by worldwide recall due to exploding airbags. Metal shards are propelled into the passenger compartment with possible fatal consequences. So far Mazda only identified these two models, but the airbag manufacturer Takata supplies all of Mazda models, and most other Japanese brands.
1,463,700 Scoville heat units.....can u feel the burn?

For Toyota, it was explicitly stated that models affected are from 2000 - 2003 or something like that. I wonder if present M6 and RX8 is affected?? Any idea?

The Sun paper saying that 45,500 Mazda vehicles are affected. Bermaz should inform us a.s.a.p. if any of those affected are one of ours

When was Bermaz incorporated or should C&C play some of a role as it was the distributor till 200x before Bermaz took over?

Update....Mazda is recalling some 2003 and 2004 Mazda 6 sedans and some 2004 Mazda RX-8s. The company will identify the specific cars involved and notify the owners. How can "Mazda" notify Malaysian owners??

Mazda RX-8 in Malaysia market of 2003 / 04 year make are all recond units, so they have to check with Bermaz workshop if assist can be given, first generation Mazda6 was introduced by C&C during 4th quarter 2004, should be no related with production with airbags issue.
