Recall 92V159000: Hardtop Hoist Plastic Buckles Faulty

A hardtop hoist accessory kit was sold to customers who have the miata with a hardtop. The plastic buckles used to adjust strap tension can break after the hardtop has been suspended by the hoist. The buckles on the hardtop hoist can break and result in the hardtop falling from the hoist, causing personal injury to anyone standing beneath or near the hardtop when it falls.

Mazda will replace all hoists without charge.
