I received a letter in September 2015 regarding a recall that involved the front suspension and the dangers that could be involved, but there were no parts available at this time to fix the problem. I still haven't received notification of parts being available 6 months later. No damage has been done my vehicle as of yet however another snowy winter in Illinois has passed and the danger of "saltwater intruding into the ball joint, causing corrosion, which can result in generating looseness of the ball joint in the fitting". the result of this corrosion, according to the recall letter, can cause the ball joint and lower arm to separate causing loss of steering control and increased crash risk. I think 6 months is ample time to produce parts needed to fix these vehicles and to save lives and it is incredibly irresponsible of Mazda to not expedite this fix.

Mazda recall 8515G ( NHTSA campaign no 15V451) I called Mazda motor corporation in January 2016 regarding the above recall. I was told that if I was having a problem with the recall parts in question to take the vehicle to the nearest dealership for inspection and possible repair. I inquire as to why my vehicle was not called in for the recall repair and to my amazement I was told that they did not have enough parts to fix this problem and as soon as they become available they would be notifying customers to bring their vehicles in for repair. Recall, it has been 7 to 8 months since the NHTSA put this recall out and I have not received any correspondence from Mazda regarding the repair of my vehicle. The last correspondence was a notification letter dated September 2015 regarding the recall. I feel this is nothing more than posturing on Mazda's part. How long do you have to wait before someone gets killed !! please look into this matter someone's life could be at stake here. Thank you for your possible action in this matter.
