Breaking News: 90,000 Mazda 3's and 5's recalled in Canada

Mazda Canada is recalling 90,000 vehicles to fix problems with the power-steering system that could lead to a crash. The recall involves model year 2007 to 2009 Mazda 3 and Mazda 5 vehicles built from April 2007 through November 2008.

Mazda says the vehicles could have a sudden loss of power-steering assist, making it more difficult for the driver to steer the vehicle. The automaker says that could increase the risk of a crash.

In the U.S., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Mazda Motor Corp. would recall 215,000 vehicles. The U.S. government opened an investigation into steering problems in the vehicles in June after 33 complaints, including three crashes.
