Second generation Mazda BT-50 utes recalled in Australia…
A recall that will affect over 1,000 Mazda BT-50 utes sold in Australia has been initiated after a possible speed sensor issue was identified.
The recall affects Mazda BT-50 UP Series vehicles fitted with an automatic transmission.
All of the vehicles were sold in Australia between the 31st of October 2011 and the 3rd of December 2012.

The ACCC recall notice advises that there is a possibility that an intermittent Output Shaft Speed Sensor failure may result in an unintended downshift into first gear.
What are the hazards?
If the failure occurs while the vehicle is in use, it could cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction.
This may cause the rear tyres to slide or lock up until the vehicle speed slows, which could result in a loss of vehicle control.
Mazda Australia will contact all affected customers by mail asking to present their vehicle to their preferred Mazda Dealer for inspection and repair at no charge.
