Over 55,000 cars recalled with potentially life-threatening hazard

More than 55,000 Mazdas have been recalled over a malfunction that could potentially cause serious problems on the road.

The recall affects 55,738 three-litre Mazda BT-50 (TF) cars, sold between 2020 and 2024.

“If this occurs, the engine could stall resulting in a loss of power.”

This in turn could put the car’s driver and passengers at risk of severe injury or death, as well as prove a hazard for other road users.

Anybody with an affected car is urged to contact their preferred Mazda dealer for a free revised calibration.
