Mazda CX-50 airbag module software may cause improper deployment

Mazda is recalling certain CX-50 Hybrid and CX-50 vehicles because incorrectly configured module software may cause the airbag to deploy improperly. All affected vehicles are under dealer control.

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.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: the airbag may not deploy as designed in a crash, which compromises occupant protection at the moment it is needed.
