Mazda CX-5 owners beware: if you have a 2014 through 2016 model, a rear end collision may result in a fuel filler pipe leak. So far there have been no injuries, and we commend Mazda for filing this report themselves, unprompted, and for stopping sales of the CX-5 until the problem is cleared up. Still, fuel leaks appear to be a recurring issue for the sporty automaker. We love you Mazda but please get things under wraps.
