Washington D.C. – September 17, 2025 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 104,854 SUVs that may stall due to an inaccurate fuel level reading. This ups the risk of a crash and injury.
The following models are affected:
- 2025 Mazda CX-70
- 2024 – 2025 Mazda CX-90
Recall summary
The fuel gauge of the affected vehicles may show that there is fuel when in fact the tank is empty. This may result in the vehicle running out of gas and losing motive power. The defect is caused by the ethanol in the fuel reacting with the tank components, resulting in a build up that interferes with the correct fuel reading.
Recall risks
Stalling while driving may result in an accident, putting the lives of the car occupants and those around them at risk.
Other Mazda recalls
In June 2025, Mazda recalled over 171,000 cars whose airbags may fail to deploy in a crash, as reported.
In November 2024, Mazda recalled some of the models involved in the current recall due to the risk of stall without the ability to restart, also as reported. The two recalls do not appear to be related.
The repair
To address the issue, dealers will reprogram a computer called the Body Control Module (BCM). This will allow the BCM to read the correct fuel level despite the build-up.
The owners should receive letters with more information “on or before” November 1, 2025.
