Mazda Recalls 14,000 SUVs Over Dangerous Fuel Gauge Malfunction

URGENT UPDATE: Mazda has just announced a recall affecting over 14,000 SUVs due to serious safety risks linked to malfunctioning fuel gauges. This recall impacts the 2024 and 2025 Mazda CX-90 and 2025 CX-70 models, raising immediate concerns for drivers on the road.

The notice, last updated on October 10, 2023, confirms that affected vehicles may inaccurately display the fuel level on the instrument cluster. This flaw could lead drivers to be unaware of low fuel levels, potentially resulting in the vehicle stalling unexpectedly. The risk of an engine stall significantly raises the likelihood of a crash, posing a serious threat to driver safety.

This urgent recall extends to more than 100,000 vehicles in the United States, highlighting the widespread impact of this issue. Mazda has committed to contacting owners via mail to arrange for necessary maintenance at authorized dealerships. During this service, technicians will update the software for the body control module to resolve the malfunction.

In the meantime, Mazda urges all drivers of the affected models to ensure they refuel before the gauge drops below one-quarter of a tank. This precaution is vital to avoid potential hazards while driving.

For further assistance, owners can reach Mazda directly at 1-800-263-4680 or visit their official website for more details. The company is working diligently to address this safety concern and ensure that all vehicles meet the highest standards of reliability.
