https://carrecalltracker.com/mazda/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v737000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v737000/Wed, 29 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000Some 2025 Mazda CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid SUVs may have front suspension bolts that were not tightened enough at the factory. Those bolts hold parts of the front suspension and the wheels in place. If they work loose, a suspension part or even a wheel can come off the vehicle while you are driving. You could lose steering control and lose power at the same time. Dealers will check the bolts and replace or tighten them for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v568000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v568000/Tue, 02 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000The fuel gauge on the dashboard of these mild hybrid Mazda SUVs can show an incorrect amount of fuel. You may believe you still have gas left when the tank is nearly empty. If that happens, the vehicle can run out of fuel and stall unexpectedly, which is dangerous in traffic or on the highway. A dealer will reprogram the computer that controls the gauge so it shows the correct reading, at no charge to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v413000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v413000/Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000The computer that controls the airbags was set up with the wrong software settings on certain CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid vehicles. Because of that, an airbag may not go off the way it should in a crash. A dealer reloads the correct software, which takes care of the problem at no charge. Mazda is not mailing letters for this one because all the affected vehicles are still sitting at dealers rather than with owners. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v357000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v357000/Thu, 29 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000The control unit that decides when to fire the airbags can log an error and switch the airbags off when the vehicle's battery runs low. If that happens, the airbags will not inflate in a crash, so you lose a major piece of protection without necessarily realizing it. Dealers will reprogram the control unit with improved software, or replace the unit if needed, at no cost. Owner letters were mailed in July 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v336000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v336000/Thu, 22 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000On some Mazda MX-5 sports cars, a software error can keep the traction control and stability control warning light from lighting up. Those systems help keep the car from sliding or spinning on slippery roads or in fast turns. If one of them develops a fault, the dashboard light is supposed to warn you, but it may stay dark instead. The car does not meet a federal safety rule because of this. A dealer will replace the control unit for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v167000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v167000/Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000If your CX-50 was fitted with a Mazda accessory trailer hitch, the bolts holding that hitch to the body may work loose over time. If they loosen enough, the whole hitch assembly can separate from the vehicle, either while you are towing or during ordinary everyday driving. A hitch that drops onto the road becomes an obstacle for you and for the drivers behind you. The repair is straightforward: a dealer tightens the hitch bolts properly. CX-50s without that accessory hitch are not affected. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v814000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v814000/Thu, 31 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000An electrical control unit behind the dashboard may not start up properly when you turn the vehicle on. When that happens, several things can quit at once: the windshield defroster, the seat belt warning, the 360-degree camera view, and, on plug-in hybrid models, the cooling system for the high-voltage battery. Losing the defroster in bad weather is the most likely everyday problem. A dealer will load improved software into that unit free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v815000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v815000/Thu, 31 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000Mazda is recalling certain 2024 CX-90 and 2025 CX-70 SUVs. The software in the computers that run the engine and the transmission may have a fault. When that happens, warning lights come on the dashboard and the vehicle can lose drive power, meaning it may stop pulling while you are driving. Losing power in traffic makes a crash more likely. Dealers will load corrected software into both computers at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v817000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v817000/Thu, 31 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000Mazda is recalling certain 2024 CX-90 and 2025 CX-70 plug-in hybrid SUVs. The software in the inverter — the part that sends power from the battery to the electric motor — is not correct. Because of this, warning lights may come on and the vehicle can lose drive power while it is running in electric mode. Losing power while driving makes a crash more likely. Dealers will install improved inverter software for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v695000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v695000/Wed, 18 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000A software error in the computer that controls the airbags can make the front airbags inflate with too much force in a crash. Airbags are supposed to cushion you; one that fires too hard can hurt the person it is meant to protect. Because of this, the car does not meet the federal rule for crash protection. The fix is quick: a dealer reprograms the airbag control computer with corrected software instead of replacing parts. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v649000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v649000/Tue, 03 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000The camera near the windshield that watches the road ahead may stop working properly. When that happens, three features can fail: the automatic emergency braking that stops the car for you, the lane-keep assist that nudges the steering to hold you in your lane, and the automatic switch from high beams to low beams for oncoming traffic. Your brakes, steering and headlights still work normally when you use them yourself; only the automatic helpers are affected. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v718000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v718000/Thu, 26 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000A software bug in certain 2024 Mazda3 and CX-90 vehicles can keep the camera views from showing up on the center display — the backup camera, and in some cases the front and side views too. When the screen stays blank, you lose the view of what's around and behind the car that you'd normally rely on while reversing or parking. Mazda dealers reload the camera module's software at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v487000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v487000/Fri, 14 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000The picture from the backup camera can flicker or look distorted, so the screen may not give you a clear view of what is behind you when you reverse. Your dealer will check the camera and replace it if needed, and will also add a seal that holds the wiring in place. The work is free. Mazda sent a first warning letter in September 2023, and has been mailing final repair letters state by state since August 2024. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v275000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v275000/Tue, 18 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000The control unit for the anti-lock brake system may be damaged. This is the part that manages brake pressure, and if it is damaged, the brakes may not work as well as they should. You may need more distance than normal to bring the vehicle to a stop, which matters most in a sudden stop or on a slippery road. Dealers will check the unit and replace it if it is damaged, at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v135000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v135000/Wed, 01 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000Some Mazda CX-50s were fitted with a Mazda accessory trailer hitch. The wiring harness that plugs into that hitch can come unplugged and get damaged. If it does, the lights and brakes on a trailer you are towing may stop working, so other drivers cannot see your turn or brake signals and the trailer cannot help slow you down. A dealer repairs the hitch wiring at no charge. Only vehicles with the accessory hitch are affected. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v875000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v875000/Fri, 12 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000Certain Mazda3, Mazda6, Mazda2, MX-5, CX-3, CX-5 and CX-9 vehicles have a part inside the low-pressure fuel pump — the small spinning piece that pushes fuel toward the engine — that can crack and warp. When that happens the pump can quit working, and the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving. Mazda dealers will replace the fuel pump at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v750000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v750000/Mon, 27 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000These CX-9s have a second-row bench seat that splits 60/40. On the left-hand section, the seat may slide forward unexpectedly during a crash instead of staying put. Because the seat belt anchors to the seat, that movement pushes extra force onto whoever is buckled in there. The vehicle does not meet the federal safety standard for seat belt anchorages. Dealers will replace the internal parts of the affected second-row seats free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v101000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v101000/Mon, 22 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2021 Mazda3 and CX-30 cars, the small valve you use to add air to a tire can suddenly let air escape. A tire that loses air quickly while you are driving can make the car pull or become hard to steer, and you may not get much warning before it happens. Mazda is replacing the valves on all four tires so the problem cannot occur. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v086000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v086000/Thu, 18 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000On some 2020-2021 CX-30s, the power liftgate can drop part way down on its own after you have opened it all the way. It happens when the vehicle is parked on a slope facing uphill. If you are leaning into the cargo area when it starts coming down, it can hit you. Dealers will update the software that controls the liftgate, check the serial number on the liftgate motor, and replace it if needed — free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v347000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v347000/Fri, 12 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000Some 2020 CX-30 vehicles with all-wheel drive have a vent hose on the fuel tank that may be disconnected. When that hose comes loose, fuel can leak out of the vent at the back of the vehicle. Leaking fuel near anything hot or sparking can start a fire, and the engine can also stall while you are driving. Mazda dealers will check the hose, reconnect it if needed, and replace the charcoal canister and some related parts free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v346000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/20v346000/Fri, 12 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000On these 2020 Mazda3 and CX-30 cars, the bolts that hold the front brake calipers may not have been tightened enough at the factory. The caliper is the part that squeezes the brake pads against the wheel to slow the car down. If it loosens, the brakes may not stop the car as well as they should, or the loose part can rub against the spinning wheel and upset how the car handles. Dealers check and tighten the bolts, or replace the caliper, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v907000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v907000/Thu, 19 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000This Mazda3 has an automatic emergency braking system that watches the road ahead and stops the car if it senses something in the way. On these vehicles it can be fooled — it may detect an obstacle that isn't really there and apply the brakes on its own, bringing the car to a sudden stop in traffic. The fix is new software for the braking system, plus a dashboard display update or replacement and a new owner's manual on some cars. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v770000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v770000/Mon, 28 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2019 CX-9 SUVs came with Sumitomo Falken ZIEX CT50 A/S tires in size P255/50R20, date code 1619, that may have been made with the wrong rubber mixture. On these tires the tread — the thick outer layer that grips the road — can peel away and come off while you are driving. Losing tread at speed can make the vehicle wobble or pull hard to one side, and flying rubber can strike nearby cars. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v558000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v558000/Mon, 29 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000On some Mazda3s with a manual dimming rearview mirror — the kind you flip by hand at night — the glue holding the mirror to its housing may not have bonded properly. The mirror can come loose and fall off, leaving you without a view straight back through the rear window. Cars with auto-dimming mirrors are not affected. Dealers will replace the whole inside mirror assembly at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v514000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v514000/Fri, 05 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000On some 2019 Mazda3s, the fabric covering the front seats presses on the small button that unlocks the headrest. The button can get stuck in the released position, which means the headrest never clicks and locks at the height you set. It can slide or move loosely instead of staying put. A headrest that does not lock will not support your head properly in a crash, making neck and head injuries more likely. Dealers install small spacers under the buttons. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v497000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v497000/Thu, 27 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000The computer that controls the engine has a software bug. Because of it, the engine can stall without warning. Losing engine power in traffic or at speed is dangerous. The repair is simple: a dealer reloads corrected software into that computer, free of charge, and no parts are replaced. The recall began August 20, 2019, so check your VIN even if you bought the car used and never received a letter from Mazda. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v425000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v425000/Fri, 07 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2019 Mazda3 cars, the lug nuts that hold the wheels onto the vehicle may not be tight enough and can work themselves loose over time. This can happen on any of the four wheels. If the nuts loosen far enough, a wheel can come off the car while you are driving. You might notice a clicking, rattling, or vibration from a wheel before it happens, but you should not count on a warning. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v403000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v403000/Thu, 30 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000A wiring harness — the bundle of wires that carries electrical signals around the vehicle — may not pass signals properly in some 2018 CX-9s. When that happens, the front passenger airbag can be switched off, the turn signals can stop working, and the engine may not start. A passenger airbag that does not go off in a crash leaves that person far less protected, and without turn signals other drivers cannot tell where you are heading. Dealers will repair the harness free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v363000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v363000/Tue, 14 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000Because of a software error, the light that tells you the front passenger airbag has been switched off can go out even though the airbag is still off. The seat belt reminder lights for the front passenger seat and the back seats can also go out even when those belts are unbuckled. So you may think everyone is buckled, or that the airbag is on, when it isn't. Dealers replace the indicator unit free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v272000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v272000/Thu, 04 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2016 through 2018 Mazda3 cars have a faulty relay, a small electrical switch, that controls the windshield wipers. If it fails, the wipers stop working. In rain or snow, that leaves you with a windshield you cannot clear, and you may not be able to see the road well enough to drive safely. A dealer replaces the body control module with a new one that uses a better wiper relay design. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v072000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/19v072000/Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000The computer that controls the automatic transmission was programmed incorrectly. Under certain conditions the car can shift itself into a lower gear and slow down abruptly, without you touching the brake or the shifter. A sudden slowdown like that can make the car hard to control, especially at higher speeds or in traffic. Only MX-5 Miatas with automatic transmissions are affected. A dealer will load corrected software into the transmission computer at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v426000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/18v426000/Mon, 25 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000Your CX-5 has curtain airbags that drop down from above the side windows to protect your head in a side crash or a rollover. On these vehicles, those airbags may not open up the way they are supposed to when they inflate. That means they may not cover the window area properly and may not do their job of keeping people from being thrown out or hitting the window. Mazda is replacing the curtain airbags. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/17v745000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/17v745000/Tue, 21 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000Some 2018 Mazda3s were built with the wrong exhaust valve springs inside the engine. These small springs help the engine's valves open and close, and the wrong ones can break while you are driving. If one fails, the engine can stall, meaning it suddenly stops running while you are on the road. Mazda dealers will inspect the engine and replace any wrong springs free of charge. Ask for this check even if the car runs fine.
