Mazda North America Operations is recalling 19,000 model year 2014 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured October 25, 2012, through May 9, 2013.
It is possible to fill the fuel tank beyond its rated capacity. Gas may flow into the charcoal canister (an evaporative emissions component) and possibly leak from the canister's external vent, increasing the risk of a fire.
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and add an adapter to the shut off valve in the fuel tank and also inspect the charcoal canister for the presence of gasoline, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in late April.
Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 7414D.
