Nearly 5,000 Mazda 2 cars recalled due to engine error 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 also 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 between August 24, 2015 and 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 engine check light phenomenon.

The cause is due to carbon deposits that are generated and adhere to the fuel injector tip, causing the cross-section of the injector holes 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 engine check 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 parts that do not contain Zinc in the fuel system.

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

Before Mazda 2, another car line distributed by Truong Hai also had to be recalled related to the engine check light phenomenon, the Mazda 3. The number of recalled Mazda 3 cars is 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./.
