    Mazda Australia has recalled 55,738 examples of the BT-50 ute which are powered by a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine.

    The recall relates to the Engine Control Module, and follows a recall of almost 150,000 examples of the closely related Isuzu MU-X and D-Max.

    “Due to a manufacturing defect in the Engine Control Module (ECM), the fuel pump control valve may remain ‘open’ and fuel supply may be interrupted. If this occurs, the engine could stall resulting in a loss of power,” Mazda’s recall notice says.

    “A loss of power whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
