Airbag recall?

So at 4.00 mins in, the video mentions an Airbag recall to be released 17 Nov.
Is this also for UK cars or just US Miatas?

I have no idea I’m afraid. Probably worth contacting Mazda UK, they are usually good at responding in my experience.

This was linked to a post in the 35ae thread however went off at a tangent.

Does raise the question though, what’s different in North American models that warrants a recall?

I understand that many cars have different airbag systems in the USA compared with other markets.

Seat belt wearing is not as common as it is in the UK/EU, so they need to use more powerful/larger airbags to protect occupants.
