Mazda has issued a recall affecting approximately 264,463 CX-5 crossovers in the U.S. as the fuel filler pipe could rupture during a rear collision, and could potentially cause fuel leakage.
The company has filed a safety defect report with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to address the concern with its 2014-2016 Model Year (MY) CX-5 vehicles. There is also a stop-sale on every unsold CX-5 currently at a dealership.
Currently, there are no reports of accidents or injuries occurring in the CX-5 as a result of this condition but if a customer has concerns about driving their vehicle before the repair is available, the dealers will offer a free loaner, demo, or rental vehicle for them until the fix can be performed.
However, there’s no timeline for when the vehicle fixes will begin.
