WASHINGTON - Mazda Motor Corp. is recalling MY 2007-2009 Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles because of reports of sudden failure of the power steering assist, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Because of a short supply of parts, the first phase of recall notification will begin around Sept. 15. The second phase is expected to begin in September as well but may extend into February 2011.
