Mazda has issued a recall along with a stop-sale order on all 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5 SUVs in North America. The automaker recently filed a safety defect report with the United States’ National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, indicating a concern that the fuel filler pipe could rupture in the event of a rear collision.
This could cause a fuel leakage, and subsequently a fire. However, there are currently no reports of accidents or injuries resulting from the defect. The recall is said to affect over 404,000 vehicles in the US and Canada, although no repair details have been provided.
Mazda’s recall campaign appears to be done voluntarily, and does not appear to be incited by any NHTSA investigation. Closer to home, Malaysian CX-5 owners are not affected by this recall, according to Bermaz.

Malaysia best in the world!!!
No recall ever needed.
Yes, something is fishy.

The U.S. enforces various strict requirement to penetrate their market. It is due to where reactions from salt used in melting snow on the road can come into contact with suspension and engine parts has high potential to cause rusting and/or oxidization to pipe joints and power terminals risking leaks/sparks/fire.
In the above case, Mazda may have detected some reactions to cars produced for U.S. market and taking appropriate measures. In the meantime, it is very likely that cars in some other countries (like Malaysia) don’t have snow and so far there has not been any case of oxidization on the pipe joints that warrants a recall.

Hehe Malaysian-based units are always unaffected. No wonder some people perasan thinking their brand is the most perfect car maker in the world.
Malaysian always getting world class cars regardless of brands… Shall we be proud of automakers in Malaysia?
Dun worry. All cx-5 in excellent condition
