Hi,

Quick heads up: spotted this is in a quick search of Mazda5 news on Google:

Mazda recalls 72,000 cars over fuel pump defect - Montreal Gazette

It also seems to have been reported in AutomotiveWorld.com and also the Sydney Morning Herald. Not to be a fear-monger, but let's see if this gets picked up in other news outlets.

Here's the full text of the Montreal Gazette article for those too lazy to click the link:



Mazda recalls 72,000 cars over fuel pump defect


Montreal Gazette November 25, 2010

Japan's Mazda Motor Co. said Thursday it will recall 72,000 cars in the domestic market and overseas to correct a fuel pump defect that may cause their engines to stall.

The recall includes 44,000 Premacy or Mazda5 models being driven in North America, Europe and China, besides 28,238 cars covered in Japan. The cars left the assembly line in Japan between June 2009, and April 2010.

Mazda said it will replace fuel pump parts that may corrode because of moisture being accidentally trapped inside the pump during factory tightness inspections. In the worst cases. the problem can lead to engine failure.

It's funny how our 2006 GT is not included in these recalls. Makes me wonder what went wrong with the later models. Parts makers not doing their quality control?
 
I am treating my fuel tank for possible moisture issues as we speak with gas line antifreeze.
