Aimed at mending problems with the coil springs and material used to cap the hydraulic oil, Grand Motors Incorporated is calling back 749 Mazda 2 and Verisa vehicles.

Following an announcement made by Mazda Motor Corp (Japan) to call back a total of 287,987 Demio (Mazda 2) and Verisa on Thursday, the said move was made by Grand Motors Incorporated.

Grand Motors Managing Director Frankie Ho said that he wanted to assure the customers that all affected vehicles will be fixed with no charge. In lieu of this, he added that the components to be used will be arriving very soon.

The VIN or the chassis number list of the affected Mazda 2 vehicles in Brunei Darussalam arrived yesterday through an email. Following Director Ho said that he will make it a point that all affected owners will be notified. According to him, this will be done via letter, email, telephone or advertisement in the local papers.

As regards the process of faulty part replacement, he said that they will separate the affected vehicles into groups to make the process easier. So far, this was Mazda’s biggest recall in Japan. The problems lie on the coil springs whose coating can be easily removed due to the improper installation of the parts. Under worst cases, rusts may occur on the coil that may result to breakage.

The other problem is that the material to cover the hydraulic oil which is used in the clutch system could leak. In effect, this causes the clutch to not function properly.

Mr. Ho said that more than 1,000 Mazda 2 models so far have been sold in Brunei Darussalam and, fortunately, they have not encountered even a single problem on the two issues. But according to him it is out of concern that Mazda opts to mend all the affected vehicles.

For more information, customers can contact 2453105 or 2453106.

The Director also encouraged the concerned owners to provide their car registration so that it would not be difficult for them to look into the affected VIN or chassis numbers.

One of the most recognizable brands of trucks is Mazda. Founded in the first quarter of the 20th century, Mazda is one of the biggest Japanese manufacturers of automobiles, and is estimated to produce more than 1 million automobiles per year with sales in Japan, Europe, and North America. But before becoming an international super-company, Mazda was once the Toyo Cork Kogyo Company, which was founded 1920 and manufactured machine tools. And it was not until 1931 that Toyo Cork Kogyo shifted from machine tools to automotives and introduced the Mazda-Go, a three-wheeled truck in 1931. The word Mazda was finally adapted as the company name in 1984, although every automobile sold bore the name Mazda. And from then on and until today, Mazda is one of the leaders in automobile manufacture and technology. Mazda pioneered a lot of fresh innovations previously unknown in the automotive industry, and is the only producer of the Miller cycle engine in the world and the last remaining manufacturer of Wankel engine, which uses a rotor instead of the reciprocating pistons found in most standard internal combustion engines today. Also, Mazda is quite popular in Australia and in 2006 Mazda was one of the highest sold automotive brands in the region.

The secret to the success of Mazda lies in its long tradition of craftsmanship and quality that incorporates into its vehicles. Mazda is the Avestan word for wisdom, and it is the wisdom of many years of superior engineering and technical know-how that Mazda incorporates into its trucks, right down to the smallest Mazda Truck Part and Mazda Truck Accessories. And this is important, since every part and accessory incorporated in the Mazda contributes to its overall performance on the road. There are many Mazda Truck Parts that can be found on the Mazda, but they often share the similar construction. Take the chassis as an example. Most trucks have a frame or chassis that is mainly constructed of two beams and several crossmembers. This type of truck chassis consists of two parallel straight C-shaped beams, or in some trucks stepped or tapered beams, which are held together by the crossmembers. And since trucks are used primarily for heavy duty use such as hauling cargo, truck chassis is usually made of specially tempered steel or in some cases aluminum for lighter weight. And aside from the chassis, most Mitsubishi trucks share similar construction of the engine as well. Heavy duty trucks often use four stroke turbo intercooler diesel engines which provide a lot of torque and horsepower, while light and medium duty trucks such as pickups and SUVs use a more fuel-efficient gasoline engines. Other Mazda Truck Parts that share similarities also include the drivetrain, transmission, and some hydraulic and electrical systems.

But aside from rugged and reliable performance, Mazda trucks can also be fitted with Mazda Truck Accessories to enhance the look of the vehicle. Mazda Truck Accessories such as bike racks, dash trim, floor liner and floor mats give your truck a more stylish look, while grille guards, car covers, bug shield, and hood protectors provide additional protection while adding to the overall appearance to the exterior of the vehicle.
