Mazda 2 Radiation Risks (Serious Question)

[AquaticDeuce]

So what's the deal with cars coming from Japan post-earthquake? Are they scanning them at port for levels of radiation? My friend made a joke today it and it got me thinking...

(boom06)

Is there a way for me to find out when my 2 was built or when it arrived in the U.S.?

If they weren't safe to sell or be around, they wouldn't be on sales lots. I wouldn't worry about it. There's plenty of other cars coming from Japan and there have been no major issues

Hi

Ports of entry have radiation detectors.

Don't worry.

Build date is on a sticker either on the door jamb or under the hood. There's no radiation risk.

Mazda's plants are in Hiroshima which is far enough south from the nuclear plant that was damaged.

Maybe the OP is worried about the radiation from Hiroshima atomic bombing at the end of WWII ?

My paint does glow at night. And it was built before the earthquake. Explain that!

Also, I think I have ballcancer.
