I'm just wondering, how the hell to they determine that,
"The affected vehicles have insufficient clearance between the seat belt tensioners in the B-pillar and the insulating material surrounding it. In the event of a crash, the insulation could become overheated and catch fire."
The insulation would be in contact with the exhaust or something real hot?

I'm probably affected by this recall, it sucks. I don't want another Mazda loaner

, I'd rather if they pay the taxi and drive my 92' 325 in the meanwhile.
