A software fault could cause an inaccurate fuel level reading, according to the recall notice.
Mazda Australia has recalled 5081 examples of its 2023 to 2025 Mazda CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90 SUVs, citing a potential software fault with their body control module, causing incorrect fuel level readings.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2023 to 2025 models, and the potential software fault is limited to 3.3-litre turbocharged petrol variants.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a software programming issue of the Body Control Module (BCM), the instrument cluster fuel level may not operate as intended.
"This may result in an incorrect display of fuel level and therefore the driver may not be aware when the fuel tank becomes empty.
"If the fuel tank becomes empty whilst driving, it may lead to a sudden loss of motive power increasing the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
A full list of vehicle identification numbers for the 5081 vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.
Mazda Australia advises it will contact affected customers "once the repair action is available".
"Repair activity is currently under preparation, once the repair action is available Mazda Australia will contact all affected customers to advise them to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer to have the Body Control Module (BCM) updated with a revised software at no charge."
