Buying a used 2018 Mazda CX-9? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 126 owner complaints on file

Two high-severity recalls define this year: wiring that can shut off the passenger airbag, and a fuel pump failure that can stall the engine. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning, but the airbag item is a safety system that may be silently disabled. The 126 unverified NHTSA complaints lean heavily engine, 74 reports, with electrical system at 15 and power train at 13. Four crashes, two injuries and one fire are noted among those filings.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Check the passenger airbag status light with someone seated up front, and confirm the wiring recall was completed
3. Verify the fuel pump recall by VIN and ask about any stalling history
4. Ask for service records covering the engine and electrical complaints reported on this year
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
