On 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.
A 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.

Certain 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.
Reported 2019-02-01 · Campaign 19V072000 · Model years: 2018
The 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.
