What to do now

Mazda B4000 vehicles are now under 'critical recall’, it is recommended that you stop driving the vehicle and immediately arrange for airbag replacement as the vehicle has a heightened risk of causing injury or death. The critical recall category applies to alpha airbags and also includes other airbags specified by Mazda. Mazda will offer to arrange for your vehicle to either be towed to the place of replacement or for a mobile technician to be sent to the vehicle (or some similar arrangement), so that you do not have to drive the vehicle in order to receive a replacement airbag. Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Mazda Dealership or Mazda’s head office directly on the website at https://www.mazda.com.au/get-in-touch/ or email customersupport@mazda.com.au to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge. You are also entitled to request special arrangements, such as a loan or hire car or reimbursement for alternative transportation costs. Consumers who are unsure whether they are affected can also use Mazda’s VIN look-up tool at https://www.mazda.com.au/recalls/ or contact Mazda on 1800 034 411 or contact the preferred dealer.
