Concern

Fire may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

A ceramic condenser required for noise suppression located within the DC-DC converter may have a crack within it causing the condenser to short circuit. It is possible that the DC-DC converter may melt and generate smoke and in the worst case cause a vehicle fire. This converter is located under the front passenger seat.There is small possibility that the DC-DC converter may melt resulting in a vehicle fire

Remedy, as DVSA words it

A Mazda dealer will replace the DC-DC converter with a modified one.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
