The 2019 Mazda 3 has been recalled over concerns about the wheel studs.

According to the company, the wheel studs may not have been fully seated during manufacture, leaving a small gap between the studs and hub assembly.

Luckily they picked it up early, only 3300 cars need to come back.

Owners of the new Mazda 3 won't be happy. Same cars and some other models now have a 2nd issue relating to stalling. On a positive note they are on to it quickly!

Yeh, my CX5 is affected.

Over on the Mazda247.com forums, one of the guys in America has had issue occur to him on three occasions on the same holiday. There hasn't been any occurrences in Australia allegedly.

12 year-0ld Scott Collie does not seem to know a stud from a nut ( or has had too much experience with same

) Read the article and it is about poorly positioned wheel studs . " an issue with the wheel nuts" is misleading, leading an owner to think i'll just tighten them.

Lesson; ignore motoring jornos.
