USA: Airbag glitch affects new Mazda

Mazda is recalling 42,000 3 sedans because their air bags might not deploy,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reportedly said.
Associated Press (AP) said the recall involves vehicles from the 2004 model
year, the first year the 3 was available, though Mazda spokesman Jeremy
Barnes said the company had no reports of injuries due to the defect.
Mazda reportedly found that on some vehicles, the housing for the air bag
sensor can crack and allow water to seep in. Should that happen, a short
circuit would cause the air bag warning light to go on and the air bag might
not fire.
Barnes reportedly said Mazda plans to notify customers of the defect soon.
Owners can get their vehicles repaired for free starting next month, NHTSA
told AP.
