NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
Overall Safety Rating

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  Rear Passenger: No Seat

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review
"Base versions of Mazda's 2-seat sports car exchange standard 15-inch wheels for 16s for 2003, and midyear brings three new models. Introduced in late spring were the Club Sport, which deletes air conditioning and power steering and is aimed at racing enthusiasts; the Shinsen Version that slots between the base and LS; and the new top-line SE with unique trim. All models have a manual-folding soft top with heated glass rear window. A removable hardtop is optional. The sole engine is a 142-hp 4 cyl teamed with standard 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic. A 6-speed manual is standard on the SE, optional on LS. ABS is optional on LS and SE, unavailable on the others. Optional on all but the Club Sport are appearance packages with rear mud guards and more-pronounced bodyside sills."

Summary On certain minivans and passenger vehicles, the socket holder in the fog lights is installed in the lamp casing using pressure. During operation of the fog light, the heat from the bulb can expand the socket holder. The expansion can force the socket holder rearward. After repeatedly being subject to this expansion, if the fog light is also subjected to vibration during vehicle operation, the socket holder with the bulb holder and the wiring harness may separate from the fog light casing. Should this occur, the bulb socket and the harness can drop inside the bumper, and the heat generated by the bulb can cause the bumper to burn.
Remedy Dealers will install a spring to prevent the socket holder from separating from the lamp case. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began July 7, 2003. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
