Description of the problem	I bought a car that had a recall of the air bag the passenger seat air bag had been deployed was told by dealer it was under recall. After checking with the dealer the side seat air bag was not part of the recall was not replaced or even looked at . So we took the seat out to see ant obvious issues and we found all the wires that plug into seat all way to under carpet against frame all the wires were melted. Witch is an obvious manafaturing problem. We have read mupltile forums where tons of people have had same problem but yet no recall we could find on this issue. My mother is on oxygen and if my car catches fire to do this and no one looking into this it can be far worse. Thier is another recall on front end suspsion that they are not willing to replace at this time. They tell me they are waiting to see if they come up with a better solution to fix it. Im going to mazda dealer tomorrow morning to explain to them what i'm explain to you and since this is a major safety issue if they refuse to do anything i'm turning this over to lawyer. I feel when i mentioned it to them the first time and they did nothing to find out what the issue was they have no intention of figuring this out but i will try again. The air bag was deployed when i bought it and the person said they were driving down the road. Thats how i knew about air bag recall . When i took car to be fixed the tech told me it didn't cover my seat. And never bothered checking it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
