What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: No injuries or property damage are reported in the source text. The defect presents a clear risk of harm (vehicle separation potentially causing crashes), but without reported incidents, this falls into the High category per the rubric criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2024-2025 CX-50 vehicles equipped with Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitches. The bolts securing the trailer hitch assembly may loosen, causing the assembly to separate from the vehicle body.

A detached trailer hitch assembly can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash, particularly during towing or normal driving conditions.

Owners should contact a Mazda dealer to have the trailer hitch bolts tightened at no charge. Mazda began notifying owners on April 4, 2025.
