Buying a used 2018 Mazda MAZDA6? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Mazda6 has 2 recalls, both addressing potential engine stalling: one concerns unexpected engine stalls and the other fuel pump failure. Separate completion records matter because the titles describe distinct recall issues. Engine reports stand out in the 58 unverified owner complaints, with 32 in that category; power train has 9 and fuel/propulsion system has 4. Complaint records include 1 crash, 1 fire and 1 injury, without establishing their connection to the recalls.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify completion of the unexpected engine-stalling recall.
- Request documentation of the fuel pump recall repair.
- Ask about stalls, power loss and prior engine or transmission repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
