Mazda MAZDA3: Seats and Restraints
Affects Mazda MAZDA3 · 2019 — about 3K vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: The material on the driver and front passenger seatbacks may not be installed correctly. This could cause it to in interfere with the release button for the head restraint. As a result, the button could be stuck in the ‘release’ position and allow the head restraint to move up and down freely. In a crash, this could allow the head restraint to detach. Safety Risk: A head restraint that does not remain in place in a crash could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Mazda will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealership to install a plastic spacer at the bottom of the head restraint lock release button.
