Stop-Sale Issued for Mazda CX-5 SUV
Mazda has issued a stop-sale action for its CX-5, due to concerns for fire risks. The directive for dealerships to hold off selling this fuel-efficient SUV precedes an expected recall on 2014-2016 CX-5s.
The company advises that, in a rear collision, the fuel filler pipe could rupture, causing a potential leak. Mazda states that approximately 264,463 vehicles are affected in the U.S. No accidents or injuries have been associated with this problem.
Until the recall fix is available, dealers will offer a free loaner, demo, or rental vehicle to owners who are concerned about the risk.
