Recalls: Mazda KK CX-90

2023 Mazda KK CX-90: loss of power steering assistance

In January 2024, recall campaign R202401 was issued for 2023 Mazda KK CX-90 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, the gear set within the power steering assembly may not operate as intended. As a result, the driver could experience unexpected increased steering effort. Unexpected increased steering effort, if it occurred whilst driving, could increase the risk of a collision and injury to both vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005882.

2023 Mazda KK CX-90: autonomous braking falsely activated

In May 2024, recall campaign R202404 was issued for 2023 Mazda KK CX-90 vehicles. Due to a calibration issue within the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) and when driving at low speeds, the vehicle may falsely detect reflective objects such as metal walls, barriers or similar objects on the side of the road as an approaching object. This could trigger an unintended brake activation that increased the risk of a collision and injury to both vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the Vehicle Control Module was to be updated with a revised calibration by a Mazda Dealer. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005973.

2023-24 Mazda KK CX-90 Diesel: no drive when accelerator pedal depressed

In August 2024, recall campaign 202405 was issued for 2023-24 Mazda KK CX-90 vehicles with diesel engines. Due to a software issue in the transmission control module, if the brake pedal was firmly depressed to stop the vehicle, the clutch for the engine and electric motor may remain disengaged during deceleration. If this occurred, power from the engine or electric motor may not be transmitted when the accelerator pedal was depressed. This condition could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, a Mazda dealer was to upgrade the calibration for the transmission control module. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006046.
