Nigerian users of Mazda
vehicles have to be getting worried as news coming from South Africa about Mazda
Motor Corp. recalling 19,000 cars in the rainbowl nation due to airbag safety
concerns is debilitating.
The local unit of perhaps,
leading global auto maker in Cape Town said this recently.
The unit said the move was
part of the Japanese car-maker efforts to extend a global recall to cover a wider
manufacturing period.
The recall was prompted by
investigations in Japan and North America for three different types of Takata
Corp manufactured airbags over safety concerns that inflators were defective.
The U.S. National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration said in July that new testing was prompting
Takata Corp to declare 2.7 million air bag inflators defective in Ford Motor
Co, Nissan Motor Co and Mazda vehicles.
Takata air bag inflators
have been linked to 17 deaths and more than 180 injuries worldwide, and the
recalls will eventually cover about 125 million inflators.
