Mazda has issued two significant recalls affecting nearly 183,000 vehicles in the United States, citing separate software defects that could compromise driver safety and functionality.
History Behind the Recall
The first recall, filed under NHTSA ID 25V336, involves 11,244 units of the Mazda MX-5 Miata. A programming error in the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) module may prevent the turn signal indicators from illuminating during use. Without functioning indicators, drivers may unintentionally fail to signal their intentions to others on the road, increasing the risk of a rear-end or side-impact collision, particularly in heavy traffic or at intersections. The issue is linked to incorrect diagnostic logic in the DSC software, which Mazda has now corrected.
The second, more substantial recall, registered under 25V357, affects 171,412 units of the 2024–2025 Mazda CX-30 and Mazda3 models. These vehicles are equipped with airbag control modules that may contain defective software supplied by Veoneer Japan Safety Systems. The glitch can cause the supplemental restraint system to deactivate without warning, meaning airbags may fail to deploy in a crash.
Mazda has acknowledged the defect but emphasized that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been reported to date. The issue was identified during internal testing and traced back to a specific batch of software used in recent manufacturing runs.
