The short version

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

WHAT

The affected vehicles are equipped with a fuel tank with a shut-off valve that can allow fuel to enter into the fuel tank emissions systems. If enough fuel enters the emission system it may leak out onto the ground or result in an engine stall.

WHY IT MATTERS

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. An engine that stalls increases the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle's fuel shut-off valve, free of charge.
