What's wrong?
The fuel filler pipe on the 2014-2016 Mazda CX-5 is the metal and rubber path that carries gasoline from the fuel door into the tank. It also helps keep fuel contained after refueling and while the SUV is moving. For the fuel system to meet the safety standard, that pipe has to stay attached and sealed during a crash.
On affected CX-5 SUVs, the area where the filler pipe attaches near the left rear side member was not strong enough in Mazda's crash testing review. During an impact, the filler pipe can rupture. If the vehicle is then rotated after the crash, fuel spillage can exceed the allowed limit, which is why Mazda treated this as a fuel system integrity recall.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is not a wear problem an owner can hear or feel during normal driving; it is a crash-related fuel containment problem found during compliance testing.
