Washington D.C. – June 17, 2025 – Mazda (OTCMKTS:MZDAY) is recalling 171,412 vehicles whose airbags may not deploy in a crash. This reduces occupant protection, upping the risk of injury.
The following models are affected:
- 2024 – 2025 Mazda CX-30
- 2024 – 2025 Mazda 3
Recall summary
The airbags in the affected vehicles are controlled by a Sophisticated Airbag Sensor (SAS) unit, which may malfunction “due to low battery.” This would only happen if the driver were to leave the ignition on with the engine turned off for two or more hours.
Recall risks
Without airbags to protect them, the passengers are more likely to sustain injuries in a crash.
Warning signs
A fault within the SAS unit will trigger an airbag warning light and a corresponding message on the dashboard.
Other Mazda recalls
In November 2024, Mazda recalled SUVs whose engines could stall due to a software glitch.
In June 2024, Mazda CX-70 SUVs were recalled over sudden braking caused by the unexpected activation of the vehicle’s automated braking system.
The repair
Dealers will either replace the SAS unit or update its software. In either case, the repair will be done free of charge.
The owners should be notified by July 28, 2025.
