Buying a used 2021 Mazda CX-30? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls here — tire valves that can leak air and the power liftgate that can lower unexpectedly — but the complaint record is the outlier. NHTSA has 100 unverified owner reports for this year, 49 of them filed under engine, along with 10 crashes and 13 injuries. Electrical and forward collision avoidance follow. These reports are unconfirmed and not recalls, but the engine cluster is far larger than neighboring model years.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for full engine service history and any dealer visits for running, stalling or power complaints
- Check tire pressures and ask whether the valve stem recall was performed
- Cycle the power liftgate, and test the forward collision warning system for false or missing alerts
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
