Buying a used 2019 Mazda MX-5? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2019 carries two recalls: a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine, and a medium-severity recall for airbags that may deploy too forcefully. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. Owners filed 11 unverified complaints with NHTSA, which include 2 crashes and 2 injuries — notable for that small a volume. Reported areas are scattered rather than concentrated: electrical 3, steering 2, service brakes 2, fuel system 2.
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.
- Get VIN confirmation that the fuel pump recall is complete
- Confirm the airbag deployment-force recall has been addressed
- Check brake feel, steering and electrical accessories on the drive
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
