Mazda3 Recalled Because Wheels Could Fall Off
Mazda
is recalling 25,003 of its 2019 Mazda3 cars because the lug nuts that hold the wheels in place may not have been tightened enough at the factory,
raising the potential for the wheels to fall off in normal driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
This condition could affect all four wheels, NHTSA says.
The issue was caused by a manufacturing error, Mazda said in a statement Friday.
Affected owners will be notified by Aug. 6, and dealers will tighten the lug nuts to fix the situation.
