Mazda Mazda5 Recalls (2010-2015)
The Mazda Mazda5 has been the subject of 2 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2015 model years. They cluster mostly around the structure and fuel system.
The Mazda Mazda5 scores 53 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 100% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 0% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 2 campaigns span 5 model years of the Mazda Mazda5. The single largest affected 580,455 vehicles, over structure. 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 Mazda5 problems owners report.
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 Mazda5 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.
