Mazda Airbag Recall Details
Vehicles recalled: 2024–2025 CX-30 SUVs and Mazda3 sedans and hatchbacks
The problem: If one of the affected vehicles is left with the ignition in the “on” position without the engine running for 2 or more hours and the battery depletes, the airbag sensor, which Mazda calls a Sophisticated Airbag Sensor (SAS), may erroneously deactivate the vehicle’s airbags.
The fix: Mazda dealerships will update the SAS software and, if necessary, replace the SAS.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Mazda at 800-222-5500.
NHTSA campaign number: 25V357. Mazda’s own number for this recall is 7525E.
