Body styles covered
- 4-door mini passenger van
Trims covered

Known issues on the 2006 MPV. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, both tied to the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module: the inflator can explode, sending metal fragments into the vehicle and striking occupants with the risk of serious injury or death. Owners have filed 12 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the air bag system, and everything else on the MPV, are here.
Whether you're inspecting the passenger air bag module or working through the 3.0L V6's routine service points, it keeps you on Mazda's own specification for your specific 2006 MPV.
