4 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021. 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.
The impeller inside the low-pressure fuel pump may crack and become deformed, which can cause the fuel pump to fail. If the pump fails while you are driving, the engine may stall, and stalling increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel pump in affected vehicles, free of charge.
Mazda is recalling certain CX-9 vehicles that have the 60/40 split bench second-row seats. The left-side second-row seat may unexpectedly slide forward during a crash. Federal safety rules cover how seat belt anchorages must hold, and these vehicles do not meet that standard. A dealer will replace the internal parts inside the affected second-row seats at no cost to the owner.
Some CX-9 SUVs were built with specific Sumitomo Falken tires that may have been manufactured using an incorrect rubber compound. Because of this, the tread on the tire can separate and detach from the tire itself, rather than remaining attached.
Mazda says the wiring harness on some CX-9 SUVs can disrupt electrical connections. This may stop the passenger-side front airbag from working, cause the turn signals to fail, or prevent the engine from starting. These are separate possible effects of the same wiring problem, not something you would notice unless one of them happens on your vehicle.
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.
| Model year | Recalls | High / critical | Do-not-drive / park-outside | Complaints | Crashes | Fires | Injuries |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 126 | 4 | 1 | 2 |

NHTSA lists 4 safety recalls covering the 2018–2021 Mazda CX-9. 4 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Mazda Fuel Pump May Fail and Stall Engine" (NHTSA campaign 21V875000), reported Nov 12, 2021.
The 2018 Mazda CX-9 has the most, with 2 recalls. The 2020 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 4 Mazda CX-9 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
