AutoExec Summary
The Mazda BT-50, Australia’s fifth-most popular ute, is facing an urgent safety recall due to a manufacturing defect in the Engine Control Module (ECM). The recall affects 55,738 BT-50s built between 2020 and 2024, with the potential for the fuel pump control valve to remain ‘open’ and interrupt fuel supply, leading to engine stalling and power loss. Between January 2020 and July 2024, 64,802 BT-50s were sold, making the majority of vehicles in that period impacted. Owners can check their VIN number to see if their vehicle is affected and will be contacted by Mazda for a free update at a preferred dealer. This recall follows a similar issue with the Isuzu D-Max, on which the BT-50 is based, affecting over 150,000 examples.
