(FOX BUSINESS) – Mazda said Tuesday it’s recalling nearly 80,000 cars and SUVs with defective Takata air bag inflators.

The recall covers front passenger inflators on certain 2007 through 2009 and 2012 CX-7, CX-9 and Mazda 6 vehicles. The recalls vary by state and age of the vehicles. Some of the vehicles will be recalled for a second time.
