Over the weekend, the company posted documentation stating that the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is recalling models produced between 2016 and 2018.

According to the NHTSA, metal deposits can cause the wiper relay to stick, knocking out the wipers and causing limited visibility for drivers. There have been no reported crashes or injuries due to the malfunction.

Dealers will replace the front wiper control module at no cost to owners beginning on June 3. Mazda recently recalled nearly 300,000 vehicles over the summer, a result of the Takata airbags that have the potential to explode.
