Buying a used 2018 Mazda CX-9? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Mazda CX-9 has 2 recalls involving a wiring fault that disables an airbag and signals, plus fuel pump failure that can stall the engine. Its 126 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by engine at 74, unknown or other at 19, electrical system at 15, and power train at 13. Engine reports stand out, while the wiring recall adds a separate electrical concern. Recall repair evidence should accompany routine maintenance records and any engine or electrical diagnostic history.
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.
- Verify fuel pump recall completion by VIN.
- Confirm wiring recall repair and check signal operation.
- Ask about engine problems, airbag warnings, and electrical repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
