Mazda Australia has recalled 10,957 examples of the BT-50, due to a fault which could cause the ute to catch fire.
“The fuel delivery hose may have been installed incorrectly and come into contact with the engine oil level gauge bracket resulting in premature wear,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“Fuel may leak from a damaged hose and, in the presence of an external ignition source, result in a vehicle fire.
“A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.”
