Recalls: Mazda DL Mazda2
2015-16 Mazda DL Mazda2: potential fire hazard
In July 2016, a recall was issued for Mazda DL Mazda2 vehicles that were available for sale from 30 January 2015 to 16 February 2016. In affected vehicles, the welding between the fuel tank and rollover valve (ROV) could peel off, causing a fuel leak. In the presence of an ignition source, the fuel leak posed a fire hazard for vehicle occupants and other road users. The VINs of the recalled Mazda DL Mazda2 vehicles were in the range MM0 DL2HA* 0W 111420 to MM0 DL2HA* 0W 116874; a list of the VINs is accessible at PRA 2016/15547.
2016-18 Mazda DL Mazda2 sedan: unexpected movement when parking brake applied
In February 2018, a recall was issued for Mazda DL Mazda2 sedans that were available for sale from 28 April 2016 to 31 January 2018. In these vehicles, the shape of the teeth on the parking brake sector gear may not meet specification. As such, engagement between the sector gear and ratchet could be suddenly lost when the parking brake was applied – this could cause unexpected movement of the vehicle if parked on a slope. The recalled Mazda DL Mazda2 sedans had VINs in the range MM0DL2SA*0W 201548 to MM0DL2SA*0W 314753; for the complete list, please see PRA 2018/16586.
2018-19 Mazda DL Mazda2 Sedan: potential fuel leak
In September 2019, recall campaign R201910 was issued for Mazda DL Mazda2 Sedans that were available for sale from 30 July 2018 to 21 June 2019. In these vehicles, the fuel tank may exceed the specified manufacturing dimensions – this could place additional strain on the fuel tank restraining strap such that it could weaken or break. If this occurred, the fuel tank could move out of position and fuel could leak – this posed a fire hazard and increased the risk of injury to other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17817.
2017-19 Mazda DL Mazda2 vehicles: low pressure fuel pump could deform and cause stall
In December 2021, recall campaign R202104 was issued for 2017-19 Mazda DL Mazda2 vehicles. The low pressure fuel pump impeller could become deformed and cause the fuel pump to stop working. This could cause the vehicle to stall and this loss of power while driving could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the low pressure fuel pump was to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005009.
