NB 1998 Fuel Filler Valve very sticky....

Post by hazelnut1956 » Mon Mar 22, 2021 2:51 pm

Has anyone else had any issues with this and did Mazda come to the party to fix it?

I've called Mazda Auckland, but as it's not technically a 'safety issue' the recalls person isn't able to help much.

Below is a link to the recall for the American models because of the problem, but I'm having the exact same problem with my NZ new Japanese import: it takes F.O.R.E.V.E.R to fill the tank!! And it must be because the fuel filler valve was badly designed.

Your help would be much appreciated.
