Some Mazda 3 owners report experiencing issues with a loose driver's seat, which has led to a voluntary safety recall for bushing replacement. This recall affects nearly 174,000 vehicles, including the 2010-2011 Mazda3 and 2011 Mazda2, where the driver's seat height adjustment lifter link may be cracked or the push nuts may have separated, resulting in the seat rocking back and forth. Mazda will inspect the seat lifter links and either install a reinforcement bracket or replace the entire seat adjuster unit at no cost to the owner. Additionally, Mazda Australia has issued a national recall for certain models due to concerns that the driver's seat could detach from its frame. Affected owners are advised to contact Mazda customer service or visit an authorized dealer for prompt repairs to ensure safety.
