Background of the Recall
Mazda has initiated a recall affecting over 150,000 vehicles, specifically targeting the 2024–2025 CX-90 and 2025 CX-70 models, due to multiple software-related issues that could compromise vehicle safety. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has documented concerns regarding the malfunction of critical systems, including the defroster, seat belt warning indicators, and the 360-degree camera system. Additionally, in plug-in hybrid models, the high-voltage battery cooling system may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall encompasses the following Mazda models:
- 2024–2025 Mazda CX-90
- 2025 Mazda CX-70
These vehicles are equipped with a dash electrical supply unit (ESU) that, due to software defects, may cause multiple warning messages to display upon startup. This malfunction can lead to the failure of essential safety features, thereby increasing the risk of accidents.
What Owners Need to Do Next
Mazda will notify owners of the affected vehicles, advising them to bring their cars to authorized dealerships for a complimentary software update to rectify the ESU issue.
Owners are encouraged to contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 (Option 6) or visit the NHTSA’s recall website to verify if their vehicle is included in the recall. Until the software update is performed, drivers should remain vigilant for any warning indicators and ensure that all safety features are functioning correctly.
