This morning, the crawl underneath my local newscast mentioned 90,000 Mazdas being recalled. What the news didn’t say in those few moving characters was that the recalled Mazdas are Mazda3 models sold in China and Japan.
The recall is for a faulty oil hose. U.S. Mazda3s do not feature the same engine that is being recalled and, as such, aren’t being recalled.
However, an additional 191,500 Mazda3s from other countries could fall into this recall.
