Problem: Mazda is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 mazda3 and mazdaspeed3 vehicles manufactured from january 7, 2008, through november 28, 2008.

If this condition exists then over time the electrical resistance of the motor circuit may increase up to a point that the windshield wipers would not work.

Risk: The loss of wiper function in adverse weather could potentially increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will install an additional ground harness on the wiper motor free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 15, 2011. Owners may contact mazda customer assistance center at 1-800-222-5500.
