Recall 03V207000: Low Brake Fluid Indicator Inoperative

DEFECT: Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Passenger Car Brake Systems". During production, the float in the fluid level sensor in the brake reservoir can be forced off of the guide rail during the filling of the master cylinder. Should this occur, it is possible that the float will not return to the guide rail, and the brake fluid level warning indicator may not function.


Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fluid level sensor float, repair it when necessary, and also attach a caution label to the brake reservoir. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began July 7, 2003. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
