Mazda vehicles equipped with Denso low‑pressure fuel pumps from 2013–2020 were recalled due to defective impellers that can deform, crack, or absorb fuel, leading to stalling, hard starting, or sudden loss of power. A class action settlement was reached covering a wide range of Mazda models using these pumps.
