Mazda Motor Rus LLC has announced a voluntary recall affecting 19,795 Mazda models in Russia, including the Mazda 3, 6, CX-5, CX-9, and MX-5, with manufacturing dates spanning from April 2018 to January 2019. The announcement underscores Mazda’s commitment to safety and vehicle reliability, ensuring that affected owners have clear guidance on next steps and the measures taken to address the issue.
The root concern lies with the low pressure fuel pump. When the pump’s impeller warps, the system can shut down the fuel supply, which may prevent the engine from starting. Even more concerning, there is a risk that the engine could stall suddenly while driving, creating potential safety hazards. Early indicators of this malfunction include uneven engine performance and the illumination of the Check Engine light on the instrument panel. These signals should prompt immediate attention and a cautious approach to continued vehicle use until the remedy is completed.
Owners who discover that their vehicle falls within the recall should reach out to the nearest authorized Mazda service center. Mazda representatives will replace the affected low pressure fuel pumps with updated, modified units designed to restore normal operation and reliability. The replacement work is provided at no cost to the vehicle owner, reflecting Mazda’s policy to assume the expense of repair when a factory issue is identified.
Official Mazda representatives in Russia will advise owners on how to proceed, including instructions to contact the service department by telephone or mail. In addition, owners can verify whether their specific vehicle is included in this recall by reviewing the service code list published by the regulatory authority Rosstandart on its official website. By selecting the appropriate code, owners can confirm participation in the service campaign without the need for immediate dealership verification. This system provides a straightforward way to determine eligibility and plan the necessary service appointment, ensuring minimal disruption for drivers who depend on their Mazda every day.
