Mazda recalls, problems and MPG by model

NHTSA recalls, owner complaints and EPA fuel economy for every Mazda model year covered on this site, with the newest recalls first.

This site covers six Mazda models from the 2010 to 2026 model years: the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-9, CX-90, and Mazda3. For these models, NHTSA's files list 56 safety recalls (a recall that covers several models or model years counts once) and 6,570 owner complaints. Six of the recalls are do-not-drive or park-outside recalls: owners are told not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outside, until it is repaired.

Models

Listed by name. Complaint counts rise with sales and with time on the road, so compare a model's years with each other, not one model with another. Last column: the model year with the most owner complaints in its first three years; a dash means the model has too few comparable years or complaints to pick one.
