Mazda recalls about 900 crossovers CX-5 in Russia

On October 15th, Mazda Motor Rus announced the recall of 889 Mazda CX-5 cars sold from January of 2012 to January of 2016. The reason for the recall is the possible wear of the rotor of the vacuum pump brake system of cars. As a result, the ability to provide vacuum is reduced, and there is a possibility of a temporary decrease in the efficiency of the brake booster in case of repeatedly pressing the brake pedal for a short period of time, reported the press service of Rosstandart.

At the same time, as a result of inadequate characteristics of the suppression resistor due to voltage fluctuations in the fuel injector control circuit, the strength of the electric current in this circuit may exceed the allowable value. In this state, damage to the fuel injector control circuit and a short circuit may occur, which under the most unfavorable circumstances may lead to a blown fuse, termination of fuel injection and spontaneous engine stop. On Mazda CX-5 cars, the vacuum pump will be replaced and the powertrain control module will be reprogrammed to avoid damage to its internal components.

The Mazda CX-5 crossover remains the bestseller of the brand in the Russian market - for the first nine months of 2018, its sales grew by 20% up to 15,750 vehicles. As a result, it entered the TOP-25 of the best-selling models in the Russian market, noted the experts of the analytic agency AUTOSTAT.
