Η Mazda ανακοίνωσε ότι ανακαλεί 500.000 Mazda3 και Mazda3 MPS τα οποία κατασκευάστηκαν από 7 Ιανουαρίου του 2008 έως και τις 22 Δεκεμβρίου του 2008. Το πρόβλημα εντοπίζεται σε μια ηλεκτρονική δυσλειτουργία του μοτέρ των υαλοκαθαριστήρων που μπορεί να τους κάνει να σταματήσουν να δουλέψουν. Μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχουνε αναφερθεί ατυχήματα που να σχετίζονται με το θέμα αυτό.
Στην Ευρώπη πρόκειται για 91.588 αυτοκίνητα με τους ιδιοκτήτες των αυτοκινήτων αυτών να ενημερώνονται από τους κατά τόπους αντιπροσώπους για το πότε θα μπορούν να μεταβούν στην αντιπροσωπεία τους για να αλλαχθεί το προβληματικό ανταλλακτικό.

Mazda announces Recall of some previous-generation Mazda3 Models in Europe
- Affected are Mazda3 models built in 2008
- Preventative recall to ensure quality and dependability
Leverkusen, 15 June 2011. Mazda Motor Europe has announced a recall of some previous-generation Mazda3 and Mazda3 MPS models due to a possible problem with their front windshield wipers. The affected vehicles were produced between 7 January 2008 and 22 December 2008, a total of 91,588 cars in Europe.
Mazda Motor Corporation permanently monitors the quality of its vehicles in production and in the field. When a first report reached Hiroshima of front wiper failure in a Mazda3 model in the US, the affected vehicle had a film of oxide around the wiper motor’s ground wire contact point, causing a loss of contact. It was found that the ground terminal could possibly be deformed during assembly of the wiper motor, and this was corrected on the parts production line.
The number of similar reports since then has been minimal, but Mazda decided to initiate this recall campaign to ensure ongoing quality and customer satisfaction. Affected owners in Europe will be notified in writing in mid-July, and asked to bring their car to an authorized dealership. The reworking is free of charge, and requires adding a ground wire to the front wiper motor on all affected vehicles.
