## What is wrong

Mazda North American Operations \(Mazda\) is recalling certain 2004\-2006 B\-Series trucks.  Upon deployment of the driver side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.


## What can happen

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.


## The remedy

Owners are advise not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed.  Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge.  The recall began on January 17, 2018.  Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1\-800\-222\-5500.  Mazda's number for this recall is 1917L.  Note: This recall supersedes recall 16V\-048.  Vehicles that received a replacement air bag inflator under the previous campaign need to return to a dealer to have an alternate inflator installed.
