What the ministry says is wrong

 原動機において、発電機等の補機駆動用ベルトの張力を維持するベルトテンショナーの 取付軸部のカシメが不充分なものがあるため、当該ベルトテンショナーが取付部から脱落 することがあり、補機駆動用ベルトが外れて発電機及びパワーステアリング用油圧ポンプ が作動しなくなり、充電警告灯が点灯するとともに、ハンドル操作力が増大するおそれが ある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、当該ベルトテンショナーを対策品と交換する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website (出典:国土交通省ウェブサイト), used under the Public Data License 1.0. This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

The Japanese register on this site

マツダ elsewhere in this register

マツダ is named on 465 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: (ファン)ベルト

23 notices in this register name (ファン)ベルト. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Mazda: 471 in the register, and 215 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2001.
