occurs:
     
 
  y 
  The same nonconformity [a failure to conform to the written warranty that substantially 
impairs the use, value or safety of the vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to 
cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven  AND  the nonconformity has 
been subject to repair two or more times by Mazda or its agents  AND  the buyer or lessee 
has directly noti ¿ ed Mazda of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR
 
 
 
  y 
  The same nonconformity has been subject to repair 4 or more times by Mazda 
or its agents  AND  the buyer has noti ¿ ed Mazda of the need for the repair of the 
nonconformity; OR
   
 
  y 
  The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of nonconformities by Mazda or its 
agents for a cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days after delivery of the vehicle 
to the buyer.
