Another round of recalls and lo and behold, it’s not GM who’s calling back vehicles. Quite a relief actually, since every time GM sounds the recall horn I sort of laugh and cringe at the same time. Anyway, it’s Mazda’s turn this time around.

7,200 California-emission spec Mazda 6 cars from 2007-2008 are being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank. The fault (damaged PVC protective coating of the fuel tank) can cause fuel leakage. And yes, leaking fuel can mean a lot of things including the possibility of your car ending up being a smoldering fireball.

As part of the recall measure, dealerships will be inspecting the bottom surface of the fuel tank for any damages to the coating. If they find any damage, they’ll be either repairing the coating or replace the fuel tank. For verification, Mazda6 owners may contact 1-800-222-5500, Option 2.
