Mazda CX-30 Recalls (2020-2025)
The Mazda CX-30 has been the subject of 7 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2020 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the service brakes, air bags, and exterior lighting.
The Mazda CX-30 scores 29 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 86% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 43% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 7 campaigns span 6 model years of the Mazda CX-30. The single largest affected 171,412 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common CX-30 problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Mazda CX-30 may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
