4 recalls across 6 model years
The Mazda CX-3 has 4 recalls spanning the 2016-2021 model years, with the most serious affecting 2016 models where a steering knuckle can separate from the strut assembly, causing a sudden and complete loss of steering control.
The 2016 model year also carries a separate issue with the liftgate struts, which can weaken and allow the rear hatch to fall unexpectedly onto someone standing beneath it. Moving to the 2019 model year, the fuel pump impeller can crack and deform internally, causing the pump to fail and the engine to stall without warning while driving. Across the widest range of production years, 2016 through 2021 models have a rearview camera that can display a flickering or distorted image when reversing, reducing the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle.
