NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
7%
11 of 149 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2010 Mazda Mazda6. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 7% of relevant complaints.
Better than 99% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 76 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 5%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.

9 recall campaigns on this model year. Whether a specific car still has one open depends on the VIN; the report checks that.
