The problem
Mazda is recalling 220 my 2009 b-series trucks equipped with 2-wheel drive. The front spindle stem May crack due to an improper manufacturing process of the spindle.

Dealers will inspect the front spindle and replace it if necessary free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before February 9, 2009. Owners May contact Mazda at 800-222-5500.
