MME is conducting a RECALL on the CX-60's sold with Accessorised Alloy Wheels as they do not meet the manufacturers specification in regard to the 5 Wheel Nut SEATS or COLLARS (per wheel) which are between the Bolt-Nut and Alloy Wheel itself.
DESCRIPTION
There is a possibility that the subject accessory alloy wheels does not meet the manufacturers specification.
Either or Both may apply
Defect 1): The collars may not be press-fitted in hub nut points, hence are missing.
Defect 2): The collars are not missing in the hub nut points but not properly seated.
These are the 3 Wheel Designs as sold as an Accessory.
18”,design 74, Chrome Shadow 18”, design 74A, Diamond Cut
KSR4-V3-810 (Part Number). KSR4-V3-810 -BL (Part Number).
20”,design 75, Diamond Cut
KR9P-V3-810 -BL (Part Number).
1. Inspect the 5 hub nut areas of each accessory alloy wheel and confirm if all 5 collars wheel by wheel
are present and are properly seated into the hub nut/bolt area.
Below...
GOOD Wheel Nut with Good SEAT of the Collar.
NOT GOOD Wheel Nut SEAT of the Collar.
1 Shows Gaps
2 Shows Surrounding surface of the wheel hub nut area.
GOOD Above:
Front side of accessory alloy wheel Collar. ~ Back side of accessory alloy wheel Collar.
1 Collar is present and properly seated hence closely flush with the hub nut area.
NOT GOOD Below:
1. Press fitted collars are missing.
Front side of accessory alloy wheel. ~ Back side of accessory alloy wheel, No Collar.
2. The collars are not missing in the hub nut points but not properly seated.
Note:
There is a little more involved, however I need to retain some discretion as I do not want owners to Panic or Bombard their Mazda Dealer about this concern or this recall.
As this Recall is about a local (EU) Accessory acquired and made by another manufacturer it is good to see Mazda is on the front foot and always looks after its customers.
So what do you do, if you are mechanically minded you could have a look yourself but DO NOT Remove your wheels, however I suggest you wait for the registered mail to come to you informing you on what you should do.
Some of the outcomes will mean complete replacement of all wheels and some just an inspection and or new collars.
This Recall DOES NOT Apply to original wheels fitted to the car from Japan.
