Mazda has issued two more recalls for their CX-90 and CX-70 crossover SUVs, adding to the list of recent safety concerns for these vehicles. The recalls are related to software issues, with one affecting the inverter software and the other involving faulty software in the dashboard.
The first recall covers a total of 14,902 vehicles, including the 2024 Mazda CX-90 and the 2025 Mazda CX-70 models with the plug-in hybrid powertrain. The software issue in the inverters of these vehicles could lead to a loss of power while driving in electric mode, triggering a fail-safe mechanism that cuts power. Owners may notice a dashboard warning light and a warning chime if this occurs.
The second recall affects 80,915 vehicles, including the 2025 CX-70 and CX-90 models from 2024 and 2025. The faulty software in the dashboard electrical supply units could impact various systems such as window defrosters, seatbelt warnings, camera systems, and battery cooling for plug-in hybrids.
To address these issues, Mazda will be providing new software fixes for both recalls, which will be installed by dealers free of charge. Owner notification letters are set to be mailed out by December 30, and affected owners can also contact Mazda customer service for more information.
In addition to these recalls, Mazda had recently announced a recall of 38,926 2024 CX-90 models for engine stop-start system issues. The software-related problem could prevent engines from restarting properly, leading to potential stalling. A software fix has been developed for this issue as well, and it will be available around the same time as the fixes for the other two recalls.
Mazda introduced the CX-90 in 2024 and the CX-70 in 2025, both offering plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid powertrain options. Owners are urged to stay informed about these recalls and take necessary actions to ensure the safety and functionality of their vehicles.
