Mazda recalls CX-90, 70 SUVs over power loss, failure to restart

November 21, 2024 Bojan Popic Mazda Recalls

Washington D.C. – November 21, 2024 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 70,414 SUVs in two separate recalls over a software glitch that may cause their engines to lose power or prevent them from restarting. The issue augments the risk of a crash and injury.

The following models are affected:

2025 Mazda CX-70
2024 Mazda CX-90

Recall summary

The engine’s operation in the listed SUVs is controlled by two computers, called the powertrain control module (PCM) and engine control modules (ECM). Due to a software error, these modules may malfunction and send the engine into so-called limp-home mode, which significantly limits its power output.

Additionally, a software error inside the battery energy control module (BECM), which controls the vehicle’s hybrid battery, may prevent the engine from starting after it is been shut down. This issue only affects CX-90 SUVs.

Warning signs

A “hybrid system malfunction” message and the engine warning light, as well as as malfunction indicator light (MIL) may illuminate on the vehicle’s dashboard.

Recall risks

Loss of motive power or an inability to restart the engine increases the risk of a crash and injury, especially if this happens in fast-moving traffic.

Other Mazda recalls

Some of these SUVs may have been affected by a November Mazda recall, caused by inoperable driver aid features, as reported.

On a separate note, nearly 10,000 CX-70 SUVs were recalled In June 2024 because of sudden braking, also as reported.

The repair

Dealers will update the software for the affected control modules free of charge.

The owners should receive notification by December 30, 2024.

Mazda recalls CX-90, 70 SUVs over faulty safety features

November 14, 2024 Bojan Popic Mazda Recalls

Washington D.C. – November 14, 2024 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 80,915 SUVs whose safety features, such as the defroster, may not work. The defect ups the risk of a crash and injury.

The following models are affected:

2025 Mazda CX-70
2024 – 2025 Mazda CX-90

Recall summary

In the affected SUVs, the windshield defroster, 360° view monitor, and the seatbelt warning may not work properly due to a software error caused by the dash electrical supply unit (ESU). The latter is a computer responsible for powering various dashboard electronics.

Warning signs

Corresponding warning messages and the malfunction indicator light (MIL) should appear on the dashboard when the vehicle is turned on.

Recall risks

Faulty defroster and 360° view monitor reduce the driver’s visibility while the missing seatbelt warning ups the risk that the driver will not use it.

Both issues up the risk of a crash and injury.

Other Mazda recalls

In June 2024, close to 10,000 CX-70 SUVs were recalled because of sudden braking, as reported.

In November 2023, close to 12,000 CX-90 and Mazda 3 were recalled over inoperable 360-degree cameras, also as reported.

The repair

Dealers will update the dash ECU software free of charge.

The owners should receive notifications by December 30, 2024.

Is your vehicle a part of this recall?

This Mazda defroster recall affects close to 81,000 hybrid SUVs. To do a Mazda recall check and see if yours is one of them, please use MotorSafety’s free vehicle lookup tool.

Mazda recalls CX-90 SUVs over sudden braking

Washington D.C. – June 18, 2024 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 9,914 2024 Mazda CX-90 SUVs that may brake on their own. This ups the risk of an accident.

Recall summary

These SUVs are equipped with an automated braking system which applies the brakes if there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle.

Due to a software error, the system may malfunction.

Recall risks

A vehicle that suddenly brakes is more likely to get hit from behind, increasing the risk of injury.

Other Mazda recalls

In January 2024, Mazda recalled certain B-series pickup trucks because their airbags would fail to deploy in a crash, as reported.

CX-90 SUVs were recalled in November of last year because of malfunctioning 360-degree cameras, also as reported.

Mazda recalls B-series trucks with faulty airbags

January 11, 2024 Bojan Popic Mazda Recalls

Washington, D.C. – January 11, 2024 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 12,741 2004-2006 Mazda B-Series pickup trucks whose airbags may fail to deploy correctly in a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.

This is the third recall for the issue and is closely linked to the infamous Takata airbag recall, which has claimed many lives.

Recall summary

The airbag in a car is deployed by an inflator, which fills it with gas during a crash. The front passenger airbag inflators in the affected vehicle were replaced during a previous recall involving Takata airbag issues.

Mazda recalls cars with defective fuel pumps

November 24, 2021 Rebecca Rand Mazda Recalls

Washington, D.C – November 24, 2021 – Mazda (OTCMKTS: MZDAY) has recalled 121,038 cars that may stall due to a defective fuel pump. Stalling increases the risk of an accident while driving.

The recall includes:

2019 Mazda CX-3 subcompact crossover SUVs
2018-2019 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUVs
2018-2019 Mazda CX-9 mid-size crossover SUVs
2019-2020 Mazda2 subcompact cars
2018 Mazda3 compact cars
2018 Mazda6 sedans
2018 Mazda MX-5 sports cars

Recall summary

This recall continues a series of recalls centered around defective fuel pumps manufactured by Denso.

The fuel pumps contain a plastic impeller, which works by sucking fuel from the tank to the engine. The plastic impellers made by Denso may weaken and deform after spending a long time soaking in fuel, eventually breaking and rendering the fuel pump inoperable. Without a functioning fuel pump, gas cannot get to the engine.

The affected part is the fuel pump with part numbers PE03-13350, PYFL-13350, and P54P-13350.

Risks

Starved of fuel, engines cannot run and the cars stall as though they were out of gas.

Stalling on the road, especially at high speeds, can be dangerous, as a stalled car could get hit by faster moving traffic. Read more about what to do if your car stalls on the freeway in this article about a Toyota Denso fuel pump recall.

Warning signs

Drivers may see the check engine light turn on or hear the engine “running rough.” The car also may fail to start entirely. Learn more about what fuel pump failure looks like in this article about repairing a bad Mazda 3 fuel pump.

The repair

Mazda dealers will replace the fuel pump with a better model for free. Mazda will send owners recall notification letters starting on January 11, 2022. Owners who already replaced their own fuel pumps before the recall started may be eligible for reimbursement.

Recent Mazda recalls

Mazda recalls vehicles with seats that may slide forward

November 13, 2021 Bojan Popic Mazda Recalls

Washington, D.C. – November 13, 2021 – Mazda (OTCMKTS: MZDAY) is recalling 8,648 SUVs whose second-row seats may slide forward during a crash. This increases the risk of an injury.

This recall is affecting the following vehicles:

2020 Mazda CX-9
2021 Mazda CX-9

Recall summary

Mazda CX-9 SUVs have second-row “60/40 split bench” seats that allow passengers to adjust their position by sliding them forward or backward. Split bench is a common seat layout that typically has one smaller and one larger seat which accommodates two people.

Due to a supplier error, the sliding mechanism in the affected vehicles may not lock itself firmly into position in certain situations. As a result, the second-row seat may not be adequately secured and could slide forward in a collision.

The affected component is left-side second-row seats with part numbers including TK48-57-25XL and TM53-57-25XD.

Recall risks

A seat that moves forward during a collision would cause the seat belt to press against the passenger more firmly. The resulting higher forces may increase the risk of an injury.

Other Mazda CX-9 recalls

At this time, this is the only Mazda CX-9 recall that is affecting these particular models. In addition, the Mazda CX-9 crash test rating is among the highest in its class, which ensures excellent passenger safety.

This month, over 13,000 MazdaSpeed6 and Mazda RX-8 were recalled due to a fuel leak from a cracked fuel pump mount.

The repair

To fix the issue, dealers will replace the affected seat components with improved versions. Notifications about the repair will be sent to vehicle owners around November 26, 2021.

Is your vehicle a part of this recall?

This recall includes more than 8,000 Mazda CX-9 SUVs. To do a Mazda recall check and see if yours is one of them, use MotorSafety’s free vehicle lookup tool.

MazdaSpeed6 and Mazda RX-8 recalled over fuel leak

November 1, 2021 Vishal Venugopal Mazda Recalls

Washington, D.C. – November 1, 2021 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 13,891 sports cars over a fuel pump that may leak, increasing the risk of a fire. This recall greatly raises the risk of injury for the occupants of the car and nearby motorists and includes:

2009 Mazda RX-8
2010 Mazda RX-8
2011 Mazda RX-8
2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed6
2007 Mazda MazdaSpeed6

The affected component is the “fuel pump mounting ring” with part number BN8F42167. The MazdaSpeed6 vehicles are also known as Mazda6.

Recall summary

Vehicles affected by this recall have a fuel pump mounting ring that may crack, resulting in a fuel leak. The mounting ring is the part that attaches the pump to the fuel tank.

The ring may crack due to improper installation or because of heat coming off the engine and exhaust.

Recall risks

Fuel that sprays onto hot components in the engine compartment can easily ignite and cause a vehicle fire. This increases the risk of a crash, as flames and smoke may distract drivers and cause them to panic. Another risk is the inability to stop and leave the vehicle in time, leading to an injury or even death. For tips on what to do in the event of a fire, please visit this article about a recent Hyundai recall.

Warning signs

In case of a fuel leak, the owner may smell fuel or notice it under the parked vehicles.

Other Mazda recalls

The RX-8 and Mazda Mazda6 that are part of this notice are not part of any recent recalls.

In July, however, the manufacturer recalled over 260,000 Mazda3 vehicles due to the risk of airbag cover logos flying off during a collision and hurting the car occupants, as reported.

The repair

Dealers will install a new mounting ring on the affected vehicles to fix the issue. They will also add a thermal insulation pad to the fuel tank on RX-8 vehicles to improve heat resistance.

Notifications will be sent to owners around November 23, 2021.

Mazda recalls vehicles over dangerous airbag covers

July 23, 2021 Bojan Popic Mazda Recalls

Washington, D.C. – May 26, 2022 – Mazda has remedied issues with 7,845 2004-2007 Mazda 3 vehicles dealing with Airbag problems caused by the emblem on them that may shatter during a collision. Additionally, none of these models have been categorized as unreachable and 1,574 has been removed from the recall. Two groups of these Mazda 3 models with airbag issues were remedied during 2021 and one group in 2022.

Washington, D.C. – July 22, 2021 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 260,915 cars with logos on airbag covers that may shatter during a collision. Flying plastic segments may hit the driver or passengers, which increases the risk of an injury. This airbag recall includes 2004 – 2007 Mazda3 light vehicles.

The affected component is the airbag cover, with part numbers BP4K-57K00, BP4S-57K00, and BN8P-57K00.

Recall summary

Vehicles that are affected by this recall have a plastic logo on the driver’s airbag that contains polyurethane. With time, this material may deteriorate and become brittle as a result of sun exposure. In case of a collision, the logo could shatter in pieces when the airbag deploys.

Risks

The force generated by the airbag deployment can break the plastic logo and send its fragments throughout the vehicle interior at very high speeds. These flying objects may hit anyone in the car, increasing the risk of serious injury.

Other Mazda recalls

Earlier this year, Mazda was ordered to recall over 5,000 Mazda B-series pickup trucks because of faulty Takata airbags inflators that are prone to exploding when the airbag is deployed and hurling deadly shrapnel at the car occupants.

In addition, in 2019, several 2016 – 2017 Mazda3 vehicles were recalled because of potentially inoperative front windshield wipers. Over 150,000 2011 Mazda Mazda3s had to be taken in for repair in 2017 because of seat adjustment issues.

The repair

To fix the issue, Mazda authorized dealers will remove the airbag cover and replace it with an improved one, at no charge to the owner. The logo on the updated cover is made out of a different material that does not contain polyurethane and will not become fragile with time. Notifications will be sent to owners around August 28.

Mazda recalls 13,857 cars over faulty liftgate

March 29, 2021 Bojan Popic Mazda Recalls

Pleasanton, CA – March 29, 2021 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 13,857 vehicles whose power liftgates may lower unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury. A power liftgate is a motorized trunk lid that opens and closes electronically. The recall includes 2021 CX 30 Mazda SUVs, as well as the 2020 model year of the same car. The affected component is the power liftgate drive unit with part numbers DFR7 62 6EXB and DFR7 63 6EXB.

Recall summary

This recall affects these Mazda’s power liftgates, which allow drivers to open and close the trunk with the touch of a button. The trunk lid can lower itself unexpectedly from a fully opened position. This will only happen when the car is parked uphill facing the hill.

The defect is caused by a supplier error, as well as “high ambient temperatures.”

Risks

Although this defect is not supposed the liftgate to lower completely, there is still a risk of injury. This may happen when a person opens a liftgate and leans inside the trunk to gain access to stored objects. If the liftgate unexpectedly lowers during this period, he or she may hit it while standing back up.

Other Mazda recalls

In June of last year, over 12,000 Mazda CX 30 2020 were recalled due to a fire risk caused by a disconnected hose in the trunk.

The repair

To fix the issue, Mazda dealers will update the liftgate software and check serial numbers on drive units. If the units are found to be defective, they will be replaced. The repair is free of charge. The recall begins on April 19.
