5 safety recall campaigns, 4 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory, 14 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
4 campaigns covering the 2006 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCK carry NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.

An incorrectly installed inflator may not properly inflate the passenger air bag, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Two 2006 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCKs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
