The short version

Mazda North American Operations reported a problem with the storage tank assembly. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, it is possible to fill the fuel tank beyond its rated capacity.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the tank is overfilled, gas may flow into the charcoal canister (an evaporative emissions component) and possibly leak from the canister's external vent, increasing the risk of a fire.

WHAT TO DO

Mazda will notify owners and dealers will inspect and add an adapter to the shut off valve in the fuel tank and also inspect the charcoal canister for the presence of gasoline, replacing it as necessary, free of charge.
