Mazda Australia Pty Ltd: ACCC section 87B undertaking

enforceable undertaking15 Sept 2026

Respondent

Mazda Australia Pty Ltd

Facts

Under the motor vehicle service and repair information scheme, Mazda did not offer its pre-2019 diagnostic (IDS) information in a form all repairers could reasonably access. It also told at least 74 independent repairers that an annual subscription was the only option, when the scheme requires day, month and year access options.

Outcome

The ACCC accepted a court-enforceable undertaking under section 87B of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (15 September 2026). Terms include: Refunds to affected independent repairers (less $80), corrective advertisements in industry journals, diagnostic software compatible with generic SAE J2534 modules, compliance program; 3 years. An undertaking is not a finding or admission of a contravention unless the regulator says the party admitted it.
