Mazda has announced a recall affecting over 150,000 vehicles, including the CX-70 and CX-90 models.

The company is recalling 80,915 of its 2024-2025 CX-90 and 2025 CX-70 models that are equipped with a Dash Electrical Supply Unit (ESU). According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall notice, Mazda stated that “during vehicle startup, the defroster, seat belt warning, 360-degree view monitor functions, and the PHEV high-voltage battery cooling system may not operate as intended.”

The report warned that if the ESU fails, there is an increased likelihood of a crash.

To resolve this issue, dealers will update the Dash ESU with enhanced software at no charge. Owners will receive recall notification letters by December 30. They can also reach out to Mazda’s customer service at 1-800-222-5500, Option 6, referencing recall number 7124J.
