2 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The impeller inside the low-pressure fuel pump may crack and become deformed, which can cause the fuel pump to fail. If the pump fails while you are driving, the engine may stall, and stalling increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel pump in affected vehicles, free of charge.
A software error in the computer that controls the engine may cause the engine to stall while the vehicle is being driven. Mazda dealers will reprogram that computer with corrected software at no charge. The recall began August 20, 2019, and owners can contact Mazda customer service to schedule the free repair.
