Vehicles Affected: All model-year 2014-16 CX-5 compact crossovers are affected; that’s 264,463 vehicles.
The Problem: Mazda reports that the fuel filler pipe could rupture during a rear collision, creating potential for a fuel leak. This increases the risk of a fire. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to this recall, the automaker said in a statement.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts for free.
What Owners Should Do: Mazda has not yet announced a recall notification schedule but has said that dealers will provide a free loaner vehicle if a customer has concerns about driving their vehicle before the repair is available. Owners can call Mazda at 800-222-5500, NHTSA’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more information.
