- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2019337
- Manufacturer's number: 3819F
- Reported: 2019\-07\-05
- Component: Seats And Restraints
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 2945

## What is wrong

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.
