Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2022-2023 Mazda CX-30 and 2023 Mazda CX-50 vehicles. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) hydraulic control unit (HCU) in these vehicles may be damaged.

A damaged HCU can result in reduced braking ability. Reduced braking ability increases the distance required to stop the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Approximately 2,410 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 12, 2023.

Owners should contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 Option 6 to arrange service. Dealers will inspect and replace the ABS HCU at no charge. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
