2010 MAZDA CX-7 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Mazda CX-7 has 7 recalls, the most serious being a defective passenger-side frontal airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a serious risk of injury or death. Multiple recalls cover this same airbag inflator issue, affecting vehicles across several campaigns. Notably, one of these recalls exists because prior repair attempts used replacement inflators of the same flawed design, meaning some vehicles that were already serviced under an earlier recall remain affected. The degraded propellant can cause the airbag to deploy with far greater force than intended, or the inflator can burst outright. There is also a front suspension recall: water can get into the lower ball joint fittings, causing the joint to wear and eventually fail, which can result in loss of steering control.

2007–2012 MAZDA CX-7NHTSA Campaign #19V782000

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Defect

Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2007-2012 CX-7, CX-9, and 2009-2012 Maza6 vehicles. These vehicles had their passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Safety Risk

An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2019. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, option 4. Mazda's number for this recall is 1317F. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 16V356 and 17V012.
