If this occurs, fuel may leak potentially causing a loss of motive power whilst driving. Fuel leak in the presence of an external ignition source could result in a vehicle fire. A loss of motive power or vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders and/or damage to property. Repair activity is currently under preparation, once the repair action is available Mazda Australia will contact all affected customers to advise them to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer to replace the fuel pipe with a modified one.
