What is wrong
The steel spoked wheel assemblies installed as standard equipment or offered as an option on these vehicles were improperly welded during assembly of the wheel rim to disk, which can cause cracks in the wheel.
The risk
The wheel cracks lead to a chronic loss of air in thetires which may damage the tires and cause them to fail. Also, continuedoperation of the vehicle with this condition can result in the partialseparation of the wheel rim and disk. In either case, loss of vehicle controlmay occur, resulting in an accident.
The fix
Mazda dealers will replace all four wheels without charge.
