438 recalls across 46 models
Mazda has 46 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1977 through 2025. Across those models, 438 recall campaigns are recorded, with 79% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls address the most consequential defects, including those tied to loss of vehicle control, fire risk, and failure of occupant protection systems, while High recalls cover serious hazards that stop short of the most immediate danger thresholds. Together, those two tiers account for 348 of the 438 campaigns in the lineup's history.
The MAZDA6 leads all models with 49 recalls, followed closely by the MAZDA3 at 46. The MPV, the brand's minivan, accounts for 39 recalls, placing it third across the full model range. Medium recalls, which cover moderate risk scenarios, represent 13% of the total at 59 campaigns, while Low recalls account for 30 campaigns at 7%. Informational campaigns, which carry no direct safety consequence but flag conditions worth monitoring, appear just once across the entire database. The recall record spans nearly five decades of production, from the late 1970s through the mid-2020s, touching passenger cars, crossovers, trucks, and the minivan segment across successive generations of the lineup.
