Mazda6 Year: 2003
Number Potentially Involved: 64,000
Dates of Manufacture: July 2000 – May 2003
Defect: On certain minivans and passenger vehicles, the socket holder in the
fog lights is installed in the lamp casing using pressure. During operation
of the fog light, the heat from the bulb can expand the socket holder. The
expansion can force the socket holder rearward. After repeatedly being subject
to this expansion, if the fog light is also subjected to vibration during
vehicle operation, the socket holder with the bulb holder and the wiring harness
may separate from the fog light casing. Should this occur, the bulb socket
and the harness can drop inside the bumper, and the heat generated by the
bulb can cause the bumper to burn.
Remedy: Dealers will install a spring to prevent the socket holder
from separating from the lamp case. The manufacturer has reported that owner
notification began July 7, 2003. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
