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.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
