## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2021412](/recalls/tc/2021412.md), 2021-07-02: Airbag. Issue: On certain vehicles, the plastic logo on the steering wheel airbag cover could become brittle over time. If this happens, the logo could shatter and could become a projectile when the airbag inflates in a crash.  Safety Risk: Loose parts that are projected toward the occupants when an airbag inflates could increase the risk of an injury.  Corrective Actions: Mazda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the steering wheel airbag cover.
- [2004360](/recalls/tc/2004360.md), 2004-09-30: Airbag. On certain vehicles, a crack in the housing of the airbag crash zone sensor may allow water to enter the sensor and cause a short circuit.  This will illuminate the airbag warning light.  Until the problem is remedied, the airbag will not deploy as required in a frontal crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace with a modified sensor.
