Nearly 5,000 Mazda 2 cars recalled due to engine warning light in Vietnam

Distributor Truong Hai has just recalled 4,809 Mazda 2 All New cars related to the engine check light phenomenon that was previously seen on Mazda 3.

The Vietnam Register has just approved a recall of 4,809 Mazda 2 vehicles, including versions with 1.5L AT engines, hatchbacks and sedans. The recalled Mazda 2 vehicles were manufactured from August 24, 2015 to September 26, 2016.

According to the recommendation of distributor Truong Hai, Mazda 2 models with engine check light error may experience conditions such as sluggishness, reduced power or engine vibration during vehicle operation.

Nearly 5,000 Mazda 2 cars must be recalled in Vietnam due to the check engine light phenomenon.

The cause is due to carbon deposits that form and stick to the fuel injector tip, causing the cross-section of the injection holes at the injector tip to narrow. This reduces the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber, causing the ECU (engine control unit) to issue a warning by turning on the check engine light.

Recalled vehicles will be inspected and repaired by cleaning the injectors, using a cleaning solution (Deposit Cleaner), updating the engine control software (increasing fuel injection pressure) and replacing non-Zinc components in the fuel system.

The recall campaign begins on November 28, 2016 and ends on December 12, 2017. Customers will not be charged for this repair.

Before Mazda 2, another car line distributed by Truong Hai also had to be recalled due to the engine check light phenomenon, the Mazda 3. The number of recalled Mazda 3 cars was more than 11,000.

Mazda 2 1.5L AT sedan version currently has a suggested retail price of 590 million VND while the hatchback version is 645 million VND./.
