NHTSA defect investigations
Federal safety investigators have looked into 3 possible defects involving the 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed6:
Air Bag Inflator Rupture
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag…
Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited.

What 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed6 owners say
Transmission & drivetrain
Clutch pedal is difficult to operate. When releasing the clutch, the height of the pedal, where the clutch engages the engine is higher than other vehicles making a smooth engagement difficult. This is the verbatim issue documented on NHTSA TSB 05-003/07 for my vehicle. However, my VIN number is higher than those covered under the recall and the issue still exists. Please explain why my vehicle is not covered or produce a TSB covering the vehicles with vins higher than [redacted].
After starting to drive my car to the top of my street which was only 15 feet from my driveway, I hear a loud clunk from the rear of the car. After taking my car to the dealership the diagnosed the problem was a sheered rear differential front mount bolt. The problem is Mazda knows about this issue and have a reinforcement kit to fix it. This is a problem since it seems like it is a design flaw in the equipment and Mazda has failed to recall this product since no one has filed complaint or been in accident (thankfully) due to this issue.
