Mazda Issues Major Recall Over Safety Risk
A fresh Mazda recall is making headlines as more than 14,000 SUVs face a defect tied to faulty fuel gauges. The issue directly raises the risk of crash, with affected vehicles including the 2024 and 2025 Mazda CX-90 and the 2025 CX-70. Drivers are warned that incorrect fuel readings could cause unexpected stalls, creating dangerous situations on the road.
Details of the Recall
Mazda confirmed that the problem lies within the instrument cluster. In some SUVs, fuel levels may appear higher than they truly are, leading drivers to believe their tanks are not empty. If the vehicle stalls mid-drive, the chances of collisions naturally rise, especially on busy highways.
Impact in Canada and the U.S.
While the recall affects 14,000 vehicles in Canada, the United States is facing an even bigger recall. Reports show that more than 100,000 Mazda CX-90 and CX-70 SUVs are impacted south of the border. This underscores the seriousness of the problem and Mazda’s push to act quickly across both markets.
Mazda’s Response and Next Steps
Owners will soon receive letters in the mail from Mazda, instructing them to book a free maintenance appointment. During the visit, dealers will update the software in the body control module to correct the fuel gauge error. Until then, drivers are urged to refuel once their gauge shows one-quarter of a tank or lower, avoiding any chance of stalling.
Support for Concerned Drivers
Mazda has also provided direct contact options. Owners can call 1-800-263-4680 or visit the official Mazda website for further instructions. The company stressed that it is committed to ensuring safety and preventing any incidents tied to the defect.
Mazda drivers should act quickly to keep roads safe and avoid unnecessary risks.
