Buying a used 2020 Mazda MAZDA3? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 32 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Mazda3 has 2 recalls, both involving braking: automatic braking that may stop the car unexpectedly and loose front brake caliper bolts. These are distinct issues, so documentation should identify both repairs. Among 32 unverified owner complaints, forward collision avoidance accounts for 15; steering, electrical system and service brakes each account for 3. The complaint records list 0 crashes, 0 fires and 0 injuries, but those figures do not establish whether either recall remains open.

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. Verify completion of the unintended automatic-braking recall.
3. Request documentation of the front brake caliper bolt recall repair.
4. Ask about collision warnings, steering problems and electrical faults.
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.
