TOKYO: Mazda Motor Corp. informed Japan's transport ministry Thursday that it will recall a total of 17,367 units of its Mazda3 sedan and CX-30 sport utility vehicle models.

According to the ministry, their engines may halt at low driving speed due to a glitch in the engine control computer program. The engines may also fail to restart after idle reduction.

So far, 24 such problems have been reported, according to the automaker.

The recall covers Mazda3 and CX-30 cars made between March and November.

Mazda also notified the ministry of a free repair campaign for 24,750 Mazda3 and CX-30 cars made between March and October over a flawed computer program for their automatic braking systems.

The glitch may cause the cars to sound a warning when there is no risk of collision or apply the brakes inappropriately.
