6 recalls covering model years 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Mazda is recalling certain CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid vehicles because the bolts that hold the front suspension together may not have been tightened properly during assembly. If these fasteners are too loose, a suspension part or a wheel could come loose from the vehicle.
On certain CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid vehicles, the airbag control module software may be set up incorrectly, which can cause the airbag to deploy the wrong way.
Some Mazda CX-50 vehicles that are equipped with a Mazda genuine accessory trailer hitch have bolts holding the hitch assembly to the vehicle body. These bolts may loosen over time. If they loosen enough, the trailer hitch assembly can come loose and separate from the vehicle body, whether the vehicle is towing a trailer at the time or simply being driven under normal conditions.
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.
Certain 2023 Mazda CX-50 vehicles equipped with a Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitch have a wiring harness that may come loose and get damaged. This harness powers the lights and brakes on a trailer you're towing. If it fails, the trailer's lights or brakes may stop working while you're driving with a trailer attached.
