- What is wrong
- Mazda is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 mazda6 vehicles manufactured from april 8, 2008, through february 8, 2010. A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction in the line. If this occurs, the fuel tank pressure may become excessively negative when the emission control system works to purge the vapors from the canister.
- Risk
- As the canister is purged repeatedly during normal operation, the stress on the fuel tank may eventually result in a crack, potentially leading to fuel leakage ad an increased risk of fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and clean up the canister vent line, and install a spring to prevent this type of spider from entering the vent line. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before march 25, 2011. Owners may contact mazda customer assistance center at 1‑800‑222‑5500.

Unknown Upon research I saw there was a prior recall Mazda Recall Number 6211B the federal safety agency Campaign Number 11V134000 About January of 2022 My service engine light has been turning on and off Around and about July 2022 I noticed a dark black colored puddle gathered wherever I would have my vehicle parked and there is a gas smell upon entering the vehicle. I took my vehicle to a mechanic and after their initial inspection I was informed that they would have to further inspect my vehicle but it would be costly because they would have to remove exhaust system to have a better visual. Mechanic also advised not to fill up my gas tank when refueling I believe my vehicle has the problem that the said recall describes
There have been problems with other mazda cars that got recalled due to a possible faulty fuel shut-off valve that could allow gasoline to enter the fuel tank emission system. If enough fuel gets into the system, it can cause the engine to stall. However, this recall did not cover my 2009 mazda 6 and I had the same problem. Door lock actuator has failed! The alarm on my mazda goes off at random periods of time. Sometimes its once a week and sometimes is 5 times a day or night. I have reviewed several internet forums and it appears that there are a lot of people with the same problem but they have not created a complaint on this website. The remedies that they have found to have the dealer replace a door actuator that is faulty. This door actuator locks the doors and if when it fails to properly lock the door it will intermittently sound the alarm. The alarm is not so much the concern as much as the door lock actuator. It if fails to lock it creates a safety hazard for people as they are driving down the road the door could accidentally be opened. Children could open the door and fall out of the car as it is failing. Please look into this issue as it is a safety concern. This has been happening for at least the past 4-5 years.
Engine light came on put on machine for diagnostic it was canister purge value sitting or driving.
