Recall03V531000: Fuel Tank Leakage Potential

DEFECT: On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel sender unit (FSU) may have been improperly installed in the fuel tank, producing an inadequate seal, and fuel may leak. A fire could occur in the presence of an ignition source.


REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the top of the fuel tank, and if necessary, repair or replace it. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during February 2004. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.
