1990 Mazda Rx7 Airbag Information
The Center for Auto Safety (CAS) has recieved numerous consumer complaints concerning Mazda RX-7 seat belt failure and airbag defects. Seat belts failing to properly restrain passengers have been an issue for Mazda since 1977. In newer Mazdas, airbags have been trouble prone, states Clarence Ditlow of the CAS.
Recalls
The 1990 Mazda RX-7 airbags have never been recalled, according to Consumer Guide. However, Anapol Schwartz attorneys list a recall of 1990 Mazda RX-7 frontal airbags. According to the attorneys, threaded inflator components of the airbags may have been damaged during assembly. This may have allowed airbag components to separate when deploying the air bag. The separation in the faulty airbags allows hot combustion gases to escape into the passenger area, which could result in injuries.
Models
According to Edmunds, both side and curtain airbags come stock in all 1990 Mazda RX-7 models, including the Base, GTU, Turbo, GXL and 2+2 GXL.
Tests
The Mazda RX-7 of 1990 has no safety test information available about the airbags from either the NHTSA or IIHS.
