Mazda CX-30 and CX-50 may have reduced braking

NHTSA campaign 23V275000 · Reported 2023-04-18 · Mazda North American Operations

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious — longer stopping distances raise the risk of a crash, and although the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, you should get it inspected quickly and leave extra room ahead.

What's wrong, in plain English

The 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.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or call Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 Option 6 and mention recall 5823D.
2. Book an inspection at a Mazda dealer; they will replace the anti-lock brake control unit if needed, free of charge.
3. Until then, brake earlier and keep more distance from the vehicle in front of you.
