Certain Mazda3 and CX-30 vehicles have an air bag problem. The air bag sensor unit may show an error and turn off the air bags if its battery charge gets too low. When the air bags are turned off this way, they will not deploy if the vehicle is in a crash, which increases the risk of injury to people in the vehicle.
On these vehicles, the forward sensing camera can malfunction. When this happens, the automatic emergency braking system and the lane-keep assist system may not work as they are supposed to. In addition, the headlights will not automatically switch from high beams down to low beams the way they are designed to. Because of this, these driver assistance features may fail to function when needed.
Mazda is recalling certain CX-30 and CX-50 vehicles because the anti-lock brake system's hydraulic control unit may become damaged. If this happens, the brakes may not work as well as they should, giving the vehicle reduced braking ability. That means it could take a longer distance than normal to slow down and come to a complete stop when needed.
In some Mazda3 and CX-30 vehicles, air may suddenly leak from a tire's air valve.
Mazda is recalling certain CX-30 vehicles. When the power liftgate — the rear hatch that opens and closes by itself — is fully open, it may partially come down on its own if the vehicle is parked facing uphill on a slope. Dealers will update the software that controls the liftgate and check the serial number of the liftgate drive unit, replacing that part if needed. The work is done at no cost to the owner.
On certain Mazda CX-30 and Mazda3 vehicles, the bolts that hold the front brake calipers in place may not have been tightened properly when the vehicle was built. Over time, this can let the calipers become loose. Loose calipers can reduce how well the brakes work or interfere with the wheels turning properly, which affects how the vehicle handles. Either of these problems can increase the risk of a crash.
Some all-wheel-drive CX-30 vehicles have a fuel tank evaporative vent hose that may become disconnected. When this happens, fuel can leak from the charcoal canister vent located near the back of the vehicle. Mazda dealers will inspect the vent hose, reconnect it if it's disconnected, and replace the charcoal canister along with some related parts, all free of charge to owners.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 7 safety recalls covering the 2020–2025 Mazda CX-30. 6 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Mazda3 and CX-30 Air Bags May Not Deploy" (NHTSA campaign 25V357000), reported May 29, 2025.
The 2020 Mazda CX-30 has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2022 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 7 Mazda CX-30 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
