Mazda is recalling its current-generation MX-5 due to an issue that may prevent warning lights from appearing.
“Due to a software programming issue, the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) module may fail to illuminate the visual warning lights,” the company says in its recall notice.
“There is no safety hazard associated with this recall and the defect will not affect the performance of the vehicle.”
