Unknown Upon research I saw there was a prior recall Mazda Recall Number 6211B NHTSA 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.
