    What the notice says to do:
    Mazda will write to owners of affected vehicles. Until the safety recall repair is completed, the rear seatback should not be occupied by passengers unless you have first confirmed that the seatback is secure and fully engaged. You can do this by gripping the top of the seatback nearest the centre and pulling firmly towards the front of the vehicle. If the seatback moves forwards, it is not fully engaged and the seat should not be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Owners are advised to contact their Mazda authorised dealership for inspection and rectification.

The register does not publish whether a campaign is complete, so a listed campaign may already be fixed on your car. Check your VIN at vehiclerecalls.gov.au before relying on this list; a recall covers the builds the notice lists, not every car of a model.

RRP before on-road costs, as published by the manufacturer.

Overview

The 2026 Mazda BT-50 XS SC 4x2 is $38,400 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. For that you get a 2-seat diesel ute with an automatic, driving the rear wheels. It carries a payload of 1,357kg. Braked towing is rated at 3,500kg, with a towball download of 350kg. It suits tradies and small business owners after a work ute that uses 6.9L/100km on the combined cycle, though with only 2 seats it won't double as the family car.

The 2026 Mazda BT-50 XT Single Cab is a no-frills diesel ute chassis built for trade professionals and fleet operators who prioritise practicality over comfort, offering genuine towing capability at 3500kg with an efficient 3.0-litre engine producing 450Nm of torque. Its standout strength is fuel economy-sipping just 8L/100km combined-which translates to lower running costs around $3070 annually compared to thirstier rivals in the ute segment. One thing to consider is that the two-seat layout severely limits passenger accommodation, so if you regularly carry crew or family, you'd need to step up to a dual-cab model instead.

It carries a payload of 1,357kg. Braked towing is rated at 3,500kg, with a towball download of 350kg. It suits tradies and small business owners after a work ute that uses 6.9L/100km on the combined cycle, though with only 2 seats it won't double as the family car.

The 2026 Mazda BT-50 XS Single Cab is a practical work ute suited to tradies and small business owners who need a reliable, affordable chassis to customise. Its standout strength is the combination of a frugal 2.2-litre diesel engine (6.9L/100km) and solid 3000kg towing capacity, making it genuinely economical for heavy-duty use. One thing to consider is the single-cab layout limits passenger capacity to two, so it's not suitable if you regularly carry a crew or family.

One consideration is that the rear-wheel-drive configuration means you'll want to load the tray carefully on slippery surfaces, unlike a 4x4 would handle automatically.

Its standout strength is fuel efficiency for the class-at 8.0L/100km, it'll save you money on fuel compared to rivals, backed by Mazda's solid 5-year warranty and 5-star ANCAP safety rating for peace of mind. The main consideration is that the rear-wheel-drive configuration limits off-road capability compared to 4x4 models, though it reduces running costs and improves on-road handling if you rarely venture beyond sealed roads.

Payload is 1,141kg on the 2026 Mazda BT-50 GT Dual Cab Chassis 4x4, a five-seat diesel ute with an automatic and 4WD. Braked towing is rated at 3,500kg, with 750kg unbraked and a 350kg towball download. It's $65,020 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs, and it uses 7.8L/100km on the combined cycle from a 76-litre fuel tank. Being a cab chassis, you'll need to sort out a tray or body for the back, so it suits tradies and touring types who want to fit the rear to their own job.

One consideration is the running costs of approximately $3190 annually, so factor this into your decision if you're budget-conscious, though the five-year warranty provides solid peace of mind.

The 2026 Mazda BT-50 SP is a practical dual-cab ute designed for tradies and families who need genuine 4WD capability combined with everyday usability, offering a 3.0-litre diesel engine producing 140kW and a strong 450Nm of torque with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Mazda's standout strength here is the combination of 5-star ANCAP safety rating and impressive fuel efficiency at 8L/100km, which keeps running costs around $3190 annually while delivering 3500kg towing capacity. One consideration is the 2115kg tare weight-while competitive, it does reduce payload capacity slightly compared to some rivals, so check actual payload figures if you're regularly hauling heavy loads.

The Thunder is the range-topping BT-50, built on the GT and kitted out for the bush with a single-hoop steel bull bar, Lightforce driving lights, a steel sports bar, side steps and an electric roller tonneau. All that hardware pushes kerb weight to 2,213kg and drops payload to just 887kg, so it is more of a styled adventure-tourer than a heavy hauler. At $78,400 it is the priciest way into a BT-50, and you are paying a big premium for accessories you could fit yourself, though the factory-engineered fitment and warranty backing are the trade-off.
