Mazda fuel pump failure can stall the engine
high How serious is it? About this label
An engine that stalls unexpectedly in traffic is a genuine crash risk, but the notice does not tell owners to stop driving the vehicle.
What's wrong, in plain English
Certain Mazda3, Mazda6, Mazda2, MX-5, CX-3, CX-5 and CX-9 vehicles have a part inside the low-pressure fuel pump — the small spinning piece that pushes fuel toward the engine — that can crack and warp. When that happens the pump can quit working, and the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving. Mazda dealers will replace the fuel pump at no cost to you.
