Mazda Canada Issues RECALL for Mazda 3's/Mazda 5's (2007-2009)

[TokyoKiller]

Mazda Canada is recalling 90,000 vehicles to fix problems with the power-steering system that could lead to a crash.

The recall involves model year 2007 to 2009 Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 vehicles built from April 2007 through November 2008.

Mazda says the vehicles could have a sudden loss of power-steering assist, making it more difficult for the driver to steer the vehicle.

The automaker says that could increase the risk of a crash.

In the U.S., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Mazda Motor Corp. would recall 215,000 vehicles.

The U.S. government opened an investigation into steering problems in the vehicles in June after 33 complaints, including three crashes.

MS3 doesn't use Electric power steering like the MZ3.

I fervently await my recall notice. Shiny new parts for free. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Almost (not quite) makes me wish I could still get a boner, just to show how excited I am.

What did your repair order say for parts replaced? I assume the electric motor?

I believe it was the power steering pump.

Finally Mazda is taking action. After countless complaints to my dealer and being told that shutting off the car and restarting it should bring back the the power steering. Try doing that when you are driving at 100km an hour on the Don Valley Parkway.
