Mazda Recalls 2019 CX-9 Vehicles Due to Tire Tread Separation Risk

Mazda is recalling 2019 CX-9 vehicles equipped with specific Sumitomo Falken tires because an incorrect rubber compound may cause the tread to separate, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (tire tread separation) that explicitly increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2019 Mazda CX-9 vehicles. This recall affects vehicles equipped with Sumitomo Falken ZIEX CT50 A/S tires, size P255/50R20 104V, having date code 1619.

The defect involves the potential use of an incorrect rubber compound in the tire's manufacturing. This error may allow the tire tread to separate and detach from the tire. A detached tire tread can decrease vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash.
