Description of the problem | Hand operated parking brake safety recall. I received a recall notice from mazda stating that there is a defect in the brake caliper of mazda6 vehicles produced from october 25, 2012 through december 1, 2014. My vehicle falls into this recall category. I received the recall notice from mazda on august 19, 2017 making me aware of the issue and stating that replacement parts are not yet available to correct this safety issue. I called mazda usa on november 2 to get an update and they still don't have an eta for the parts. The recall notice states that the defect could result in unexpected movement of the vehicle if parked on a slope, increasing the risk of a collision. I have asked mazda to take the vehicle back and reimburse me. The representative made a note of this, gave me a case number and left it up to me to figure out how to resolve the issue. I'm concerned that the vehicle in its present state is at risk of causing physical harm and property damage to the surrounding area it may be parked in, especially places like san francisco, where high grade slopes are pretty common. Since this is a defect to the brake caliper i can only assume that the problem has existed ever since i purchased the vehicle. |
