The new 2010 Mazda3 has only been made available in the U.S. market since March 2009, but the subcompact model has already received its first recall. Overall, Mazda will be calling back to its dealerships 25,400 sedans and hatchback models because of a problem concerning the starter motor. More specifically, the company found that the clearance between the engine harness and the housing of starter motor may be inadequate as vibration during operation may cause a short-circuit between certain harness wires and the starter housing.
If this happens the fuse may blow out causing the engine to stall and not restart again. The Japanese firm's dealers will have the engine harness inspected and add a protector clip on the affected section of the harness while if deemed necessary, the harness will be repaired.

it isn't true !!
there is only Korean cars need recall in the world!!!!
why you make the guys who hate Korean cars feel disappointed so soon !!!!??
Very disappointing. This shouldn't be happening especially since this is NOT an all new car nor is it a new engine
oh come on...i know recalls happens so chill out! it is a design flaw or location of the starter motor and the dealerships will fix em for free! as long as the company pays for the recall it is all good in my eyes!
I think the real reason they are recalling it it because they actually realised that it was completely ugly. Seriously, look at it.
no worries...mazda 3 turned that frown upside down.See, he's still smiling
