Consumer Description

SUBFRAME ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH, EXPOSING A LOWER CONTROL ARM BOLT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 09/10 MAZDA 6. DON'T KNOW WHY THIS ISN'T EXPANDED TO COVER THIS MAZDA 6 MODEL AS I'M SURE THE SUBFRAME IS THE SAME THROUGHOUT.
