Mazda BT-50 recalled

Mazda Australia has recalled 1703 examples of the BT-50, owing to a fault which could result in the ute’s parking lights not functioning at low speeds.

“Due to a software issue within the Body Control Module, the parking lamps and number plate lamp may not illuminate when the vehicle is travelling below the speed of 10 kilometre per hour,” Mazda said in its recall notice.

“If the vehicle’s lights do not work as intended, other road users may not be able to identify the vehicle in parked position and when driven at night. 

“This could lead to an increased risk of accident, resulting in serious injury and/or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”

• A total of 1703 Mazda BT-50s built between 2021 and 2023 are affected

The recall only affects examples of the Mazda BT-50 which are powered by a 1.9-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, not the larger 3.0-litre models.

If you own an affected BT-50, Mazda will contact you when parts are available to schedule an appointment at our preferred dealer to replace the body control module, free of charge.
