Default Mazda BT-50 Recall...

Mazda Australia Pty Ltd — Mazda BT-50
PRA No.
2017/16331
Date published
22 Sep 2017
Product description
Mazda BT-50 (UR)
Identifying features

BT-50 (UR) Side Airbag Initiator Recall - VIN List.xlsx (14.49 KB)
What are the defects?
The airbag initiators within the side airbag modules may contain an incorrect chemical mixture.
What are the hazards?
This incorrect chemical mixture could cause the airbag inflator not to initiate, resulting in the side airbag not deploying in the event of a crash and increasing the risk of injury to occupants. As of date of publication, there have been no reported cases in Australia.
What should consumers do?
Mazda Australia will contact all affected customers by mail. Customers will be advised to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer for repair at no charge.

Should we expect The Ranger to have the same issue?

Maybe not - the Ranger is now half a generation ahead with its latest update, plus there were already significant differences...

Never knew that.
I don't think Isuzu know that either,they are under the impression that Isuzu bodys come from holden,i had 2 dealers tell me that.
The relationship between Isuzu and holden has been confusing to understand from what ive read,i know the worst thing holden ever did was run their own drivelines.
Either way the dmax is a reliable vehicle,not the fastest or best looking but very dependable with a good warranty.
Apparently Colorado got its name because Isuzu stopped holden using the rodeo name.

Even parts like airbag initiators? Id be surprised if they are different.

No surprise it is durable, they have had decades to get it's stone age equipment reliable. But it's 2 generations behind it's rivals now.

Reliable/durable both great,stone age lol
If being the most reliable/durable ute available makes it behind the times in your eyes that cant be a bad thing I guess,rather have a reliable ute than a flashier unreliable problematic warranty magnet ute with a killer sat nav and Bluetooth.
Others refuse to get their utes reliable and fix inherent problems,they flog a dead problematic horse and add glitter to a big turd and expect that to fly,for brand blind sheep it may just do that...
