Mazda Recall Overview:
Mazda Motor Corporation will conduct a Safety and Emission Recall Campaign for certain 2015-2016 Mazda3 vehicles. A defect in the fuel shut-off valve may allow fuel to flow from the fuel tank into the charcoal emissions canister.
With this happening , it may cause the check engine light to illuminate. If the fuel exceeds the canister capacity, fuel leakage could occur, increasing the risk of a fire and/or engine stalling.
These vehicles were built from May 21, 2015 through August 24, 2015. Approximately 14,270 vehicles in the U.S. and 136 vehicles in Puerto Rico are affected.
Understanding Vehicle Recalls:
What To Do If You’re Part of the Vehicle Recall:
Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified as soon as possible. They will be instructed to bring their vehicles to their nearest Mazda Dealership for further inspection. Should no issues be found, the vehicle will be returned to the owner. If a defect is found the fuel tank and charcoal canister will be replaced.
If You do not feel comfortable driving your car to the dealership please call Mazda’s 24-hour Roadside Assistance service at 800-866-1998 and have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the dealership.
