## What is wrong

Mazda North American Operations \(Mazda\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Mazda3 vehicles manufactured May 21, 2015, to August 25, 2015.  The affected vehicles are equipped with a fuel tank with a shut\-off valve that can allow fuel to enter into the fuel tank emissions systems.  If enough fuel enters the emission system it may leak out onto the ground or result in an engine stall.


## What can happen

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.  An engine that stalls increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle's fuel shut\-off valve.  As needed, the fuel shut\-off valve and the affected fuel tank emissions system components will be replaced, free of charge.  The recall began on October 20, 2015.  Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the repairs have been completed.  Mazda will provide rental cars until that time.  Owners may contact the Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1\-800\- 222\-5500, option \#6.  Mazda's number for this recall is 8615J.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
