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.

“Due to a manufacturing defect in the engine control module (ECM), the fuel pump control valve may remain ‘open’ and fuel supply may be interrupted,” the recall notice read.

“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.

Anybody in need of further information can contact Mazda on 1800 034 411. A full list of the affected cars can be found here.
