6 recalls across 9 model years
The Mazda Mazda2 has 6 recalls spanning 2011 through 2021, with the most serious being a steering knuckle separation defect on 2013-2014 models where the knuckle can detach from the strut assembly, causing sudden and complete loss of steering control.
The 2012 model year has a related suspension issue where the strut-to-knuckle bolt may not have been properly tightened, which can also allow the strut assembly to separate from the knuckle over time and produce the same loss of steering.
On 2019-2020 vehicles, the impeller inside the low-pressure fuel pump can crack and deform, causing the pump to fail and the engine to stall without warning. The 2020-2021 model years have a headlight concern where missing adjustment prevention caps can allow the beam aim to shift, reducing how far and clearly the road ahead is illuminated at night.
Going back to the earliest production years, 2011 models equipped with a manual seat height adjuster have lifter links that can break or pull free from the seat frame, causing the seat to tilt and making it difficult for the driver to maintain a proper position behind the wheel. A 2014 compliance label recall involves a misprinted manufacturing date on the vehicle's door placard, with no associated safety risk.
