The recall surrounds an electronic problem that could prevent the windshield wipers from working. Affected vehicles include those between the 2008 and 2010 model years. Mazda is expected to notify customers and those with questions can contact their local dealer to see if their specific vehicle is listed under this recall.

Just an fyi. I havent had the issue but i'm sure some people here have.

Wrong forum, it appears. This is the Speed forum. Guess we'll have to wait and see if it spreads to us.

Mazda to Recall 400,000 Vehicles Globally for Possible Wiper Defect
Mazda to recall 103,300 Mazda3 and MAZDASPEED3 vehicles in the US.

More than 400,000 Mazda3 and MAZDASPEED3 vehicles worldwide will be subject to recall by Mazda Motor Corp. after drivers reported defective windshield wiper motors.

In documents posted Monday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Web site, Mazda said it's recalling 103,300 vehicles in the United States manufactured between Jan. 7, 2008, and Nov. 28, 2008.

The ground terminal of the wiper motor may have been accidentally bent as the cars were assembled, Mazda said in the documents. The flaw may cause the wipers to stop working, which could prove dangerous in inclement weather.
