MAZDA 6 ( 14/03/2005 – 09/04/2007) DEFECT: It has been identified that the density of the propellant within the airbag inflator may be insufficient due to inappropriate production and storage conditions of the propellant. In this condition the inflator may abnormally ignite at the time of the airbag deployment allowing the inner pressure of the inflator to increase abnormally resulting in the breakage of the inflator case. In this condition the airbags will not provide adequate protection during a frontal impact as the broken pieces of the inflator case could injure the driver and/or front seat passenger.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the driver and passenger front airbag inflators with modified units.
