What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2018 Mazda CX-9 vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the wiring harness that may disrupt electrical communications. This disruption can disable the passenger frontal air bag, turn signals, and/or the engine starting system.

The defect poses safety risks because the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, inoperable turn signals prevent the driver from signaling to other drivers, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will repair the wiring harnesses free of charge. The recall began on July 26, 2019. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, Option 4, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
