More Mazda BT-50 models recalled

Just nine days after a first recall, 10,957 Mazda BT-50 (TF) 3.0 ltr Variants with a year range of 2020 – 2021 have been recalled.

The fuel hose may have been installed incorrectly and may come into contact with the engine oil level dipstick mounting bracket. As a result, fuel may leak from the damaged hose, and, in the presence of an external ignition source result in a vehicle fire.

A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Mazda Australia in writing to schedule an appointment to have the fuel hose inspected and replaced, free of charge.
