Buying a used 2019 Mazda CX-5? Check these 2 recalls first
This year carries the same two high-severity recalls as the 2018: the Mazda3/Mazda6/CX-5 unexpected engine stall and the fuel pump failure that can also stall the engine. Neither is a stop-driving or park-outside recall. The unverified NHTSA complaint file is notably larger than the 2018's, 269 reports including 7 crashes, 2 fires and 5 injuries. ENGINE leads with 130, but electrical system at 46 and power train at 31 are meaningful secondary clusters.
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.
- Confirm by VIN that both the engine stall and fuel pump recalls were completed, and get the repair order dates
- Ask whether the fuel pump has been replaced once or more than once
- Test drive long enough to exercise electrical and transmission behavior, given those complaint clusters
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
