2016 MAZDA MAZDA3 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Mazda3 has 7 recalls, the most serious being multiple fuel tank defects where welds or connections can fail and allow fuel to leak, creating a fire risk near any ignition source. The fuel system concerns cover several distinct failure points: a weld on the inlet check valve can break and release fuel, a deformed tank can leak at a recirculation pipe connection, and a faulty shut-off valve can allow fuel to overflow into the emissions system, leak onto the ground, or cause the engine to stall unexpectedly. Not all of these issues affect every vehicle in the model year, as they reflect different manufacturing windows. On the visibility side, the rearview camera can display a flickering or distorted image when reversing, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle. The windshield wipers can also stop working entirely due to a faulty relay, leaving the driver without a clear view through the windshield in rain or poor conditions.
