Mazda recalls additional 19,000 vehicles in South Africa over airbag scare

Mazda recalls another 19,000 cars.

Mazda Motor Corp is recalling 19,000 cars in South Africa due to airbag safety concerns as the Japanese car maker extends a global recall to cover a wider manufacturing period, its local unit said on Monday.

The recall was prompted by investigations in Japan and North America for three different types of Takata Corp-manufactured airbags over safety concerns. [Reuters]
