Mazda has announced that they are recalling certain models of the the 2010 Mazda3.  They stated that a clearance between the engine harness and the housing of the starter motor may be insufficient.  Due to this, the covering of the harness may be damaged through vibration during operation possibly causing a short circuit between certain harness wires and the starter housing.  A short circuit can result in engine control malfunction and/or poor shift quality.

The main fuse may blow out causing the engine to stall and inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.  Dealers will have the engine harness inspect and add a protective clip on the affected section of ther harness, If necessary, the harness will be repaired.  This service will be preformed free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin on May 6.2009.  Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
