Mazda Recalls CX-70 and CX-90 SUVs for Faulty Fuel Gauges That Can Cause Stalling

Owners will receive a free software fix to correct ethanol-related gauge errors.

Overview

  • Transport Canada and U.S. filings detail a safety recall for 2024–2025 CX-90s and 2025 CX-70s affecting 14,350 vehicles in Canada and 104,854 in the United States.
  • Regulators warn the cluster may display an incorrect fuel level, which can let the vehicle run out of fuel and stall, increasing crash risk.
  • Ethanol in fuel can react with materials on the sub-tank sending-unit circuit board, creating soot that disrupts the fuel-level signal.
  • Dealers will reprogram the body control module at no charge, with owner notifications scheduled to begin November 1.
  • Until repairs are completed, Mazda advises refuelling before the gauge drops to one-quarter, and the company reports no crashes or injuries linked to the issue so far.
