The car manufacturer had agreed to deliver shipments of their 2025 MX-5 Miata to several dealerships and owners who could be waiting a while.
Anyone who was promised this Mazda model could be waiting up to multiple months before receiving their vehicle.
This decision came after the car company launched an investigation that revealed a potential defect with the 2025 MX-5 Miata.
In recent months, Mazda drivers have complained about the delayed delivery times for their 2025 MX-5 models as they receive vague and intermittent updates about the actual timeline.
The wait could be coming to an end with deliveries expected in Summer 2025, a Mazda spokesperson told The Drive.
“We are investigating a potential issue with a vehicle control module in certain MX-5s,” a Mazda spokesperson wrote in an email.
“Out of an abundance of caution we have temporarily suspended deliveries of 2025 MX-5s. The Mazda team is working hard to remedy the hold up as efficiently as possible.
“Our quality assurance team is performing their due diligence on the matter and assessing the range of vehicles that may be impacted. Delivery timelines vary in general, but the latest intel we have is Summer 2025.”
For extra precaution, any MX-5s will be held at Mazda’s holding lots, where any potential issues will be resolved before being shipped out.
The car company affirms that this method will prevent any faulty vehicles from ending up in drivers’ hands.
Customers have speculated that the problem is contained to Mazda’s 35th Anniversary model, but the auto company has not confirmed that yet.
The issue could have something to do with the control module, which could affect anything from the vehicle’s engine performance, fuel injection, to its ignition timing, according to Motor1.
This comes after Mazda owners were urged to claim benefits in a class action lawsuit.
According to the documents, certain Mazda vehicles were equipped with a dodgy fuel pump.

The fuel pumps were manufactured by a company called Denso, and they have led to some auto issues for Mazda drivers.
Plaintiffs claimed that the auto defect can cause fuel pump failure or, in extreme cases, engine failure.
Those who know their vehicles are equipped with the defective pumps could be entitled to benefits from Mazda.
The car manufacturer will fully compensate any cash that was spent on repairing or replacing the shoddy pump.
Mazda is also offering additional benefits for drivers who have been struggling with the issue.
Affected drivers could receive an extended 15-year new parts warranty or 150,000 miles – whichever comes first.
Mazda did not immediately reply to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
