The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Mazda's recall of 29,000 of its 2009 Mazda6 vehicles.

The defect in the outer door handles causes them to stick in the open position and thus prevents the door from locking shut. The door may open while driving and, if unrestrained, passengers are in danger of being thrown from the vehicle.

Mazda dealers will inspect all the Mazda6’s door handles and replace or repair them, if needed, at no cost to the owner. For more recall information, Mazda6 owners should call Mazda at 800-222-5500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.
