Mazda CX-90 Recalls

The Mazda CX-90 has 20 recalls covering the 2024 and 2025 model years, with the most serious being a 2024 model year issue where steering and suspension bolts may be missing or undertightened, potentially allowing the steering shaft, front brake sensor harnesses, or upper control arms to detach and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control.

The 2024 model year carries the bulk of the recall activity, with several issues that can cut drive power without warning. On plug-in hybrid models, software problems in the powertrain control module, engine control module, and inverter can each independently trigger a fail-safe mode that drops power to the wheels while driving. A separate issue on 2024 PHEV models can cause the engine and electric motor to shut down together, again leaving the driver without drive power. These represent multiple distinct software paths to the same outcome: unexpected power loss in traffic.

The 2024 model year also has two recalls tied to the automatic emergency braking system, where software causes the system to falsely detect an obstacle and apply the brakes hard with no actual hazard present. A sudden, unexpected stop in traffic raises the risk of being rear-ended. There is also a 2024 steering gear recall where a worm gear assembly problem can cause power steering assist to drop suddenly, and a related steering gear issue that can produce an abrupt change in steering feel and noticeably heavier effort at the wheel.

On the electrical side, a dashboard electrical supply unit software fault on 2024 and 2025 models can prevent the windshield defroster, seatbelt warning chime, 360-degree camera monitor, and high-voltage battery cooling system from working at startup. The 2024 model year has a separate camera software issue where the rearview, front, or side camera images may not appear on the display at all. The fuel gauge on 2024 and 2025 mild hybrid models can display an inaccurate reading, potentially leaving the driver unaware the tank is nearly empty until the engine stalls. Going back to the 2024 model year, a start-stop system software fault can prevent the engine from restarting after an automatic idle-stop event. Rounding out the 2024 recalls, the low-speed pedestrian warning sound system may produce inaccurate audio cues due to missing amplifier software, and a compliance issue causes the reverse warning tone to sound in gear positions other than reverse.
