Australia’s fifth-most popular ute, the Mazda BT-50, has been hit with an urgent safety recall.
According to the Federal Government’s Vehicle Recall notice board, 55,738 BT-50s built between 2020 and 2024 have been impacted by a manufacturing defect in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
“The fuel pump control valve may remain ‘open’ and fuel supply may be interrupted. If this occurs, the engine could stall resulting in a loss of power,” the recall statement reads.
Between January 2020 and July 2024, Mazda sold 64,802 BT-50s, meaning the majority sold in that period are impacted by the engine defect.
For those unsure if their vehicle is affected, you can check against your VIN number here. Those with impacted vehicles will be contacted by Mazda to arrange an update to the BT-50's ECM at a preferred dealer, free of charge.
It follows the same recall of the Isuzu D-Max, on which the BT-50 is based, that affected more than 150,000 examples.
