FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
- The defect
- Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2018 Mazda3, Mazda6, 2019 CX-3, 2018-2019 MX-5, CX-5, CX-9, and 2019-2020 Mazda2 vehicles. The impeller inside the low-pressure fuel pump may crack and deform, potentially causing the fuel pump to fail.
- What it can cause
- Fuel pump failure may cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the fuel pumps, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2022. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 Option 4. Mazda's number for this recall is 5321K.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 121,038 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mazda vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 17 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V744000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 8 of the 11 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 998 complaints with NHTSA, 186 of them before this campaign was filed. 37 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2017, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V695000 (air bags), 23V487000 (back over prevention), 22V885000 (exterior lighting).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mazda North American Operations with NHTSA on November 12, 2021 as campaign 21V875000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
