Mazda 3: Engine Mounting Bolt May Fail
Mazda 3 Recall Summary Mazda is recalling 430 Mazda 3 vehicles because an engine mounting bolt may loosen and potentially fall off if the vehicle is repeatedly accelerated suddenly. If this happens, the transmission could shift out of position or the driveshaft could detach, causing loss of power to the wheels. Dealers will check the bolt's tightness and replace it with a modified version if needed.
