Mazda will recall more than 174,00 cars and minivans around the world, mostly because of a wiring problem in fog lamps. The company says that defective fog lamps on models including the Mazda6 (Atenza in Europe), MPV and Miata will be recalled after one faulty lamp caused a bumper to catch fire. The vehicles involved in the recall include Mazda6 sedans sold in Japan; MPV minivans built between May 1999 and February 2003; and Miatas made between December 1997 and February 2003.
