While stopped for a traffic light I was impacted from a vehicle behind my vehicle. The impact from the crash did not cause the airbags to deploy. That being said, I am still waiting on Mazda to tell me when they will have the parts to replace the airbag due to the mass recall. I got very lucky this time, but I am not terrified about what can happen now.

Mazda has issued a recall on parts they do not have. This is a huge safety risk on a daily driver such as myself, in the event of an impact my airbag may not deploy or deploy ineffectively, risking me further to injury. Mazda has not followed up with anything, nor has any attempt been made to rectify the issue.
