Over half a million Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles recalled due to power-steering flaws

Earlier this week, we told you that Mazda is going to recall over 200,000 Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles in United States. And the bad news continues, as the Japanese manufacturer expects to recall more than 500,000 vehicles worldwide due to power-steering flaws.

This will be the largest recall ever for Mazda, which already announced that it will offer the so-called Special Service Program (SSP) for certain Mazda3 and Mazda5 models equipped with electro hydraulic power assist system.

Mazda hasn't screwed anyone even though they did have problems with the rotary engine they covered all of them , especially since they extended the warranty on the powertrain to 7 yrs 100k .
Thank Toyota for what?? That it took families to die first before they would come out with thier recalls and were then FORCED to stop covering them up! Toyota did everything wrong and now are trying to clean it up

When it comes to customer service at the corporate level, Toyota is one of the worst. For example, one of my friends' NAVI screen developed a crack on it w/o any physical abuse and with only a couple thousands of miles on it. Toyota refuses to cover it saying it is due to external force. Several efforts to connect district rep failed. Finally, the rep agreed to meet, and give a NO as answer. My friend is take the dealer to small claim court.

Mazda, on the other hand, often covers 1/2 cost even if your vehicle is out of warranty (not by much, of course).
