The 1999 Mazda Miata has two recalls, both involving the fuel system, with the more serious being a fuel injector wiring harness that can rub against the engine and short out, cutting power to the injectors and stalling the engine. The second recall involves a fuel filler valve that can stick and cause fuel to spray back out of the filler neck when the tank is being filled.

What can fail
The fuel injector harness can rub against the EGR pipe on the manifold due to differences in how it's routed. If the harness wears through, it may short circuit and blow the fuel injector fuse, causing the engine to stall.
What the fix does
The fuel injector harness will be rerouted to prevent contact with the manifold, or replaced if it's already damaged.
